  • Q9
    Why do people tend to cup their hands around listeners' ears when whispering to them?
    Sound waves from a whisper are short; they will not reach the ear unless guided by a hand.

    The ear cannot absorb sound waves produced by a whisper without a cupped hand.
    A cupped hand, can direct sound waves into the ear of the listener.
