Question
How could you convince a small child that when you speak, it is not necessary for air to travel from you mouth to the ear of listener?
Solution
There is no actual movement of air from the sound-producing body to our ear. The air layers only vibrate back and forth and transfer the sound energy from one layer to the next layer and fall on our ears; the eardrums vibrate accordingly and reproduce the sound.
