Question

Why must the middle ear amplify sound waves?

The inner ear is filled with a fluid (endolymph) that would otherwise limit the detection of sound waves.

The size of the ear makes it difficult for sound waves to travel along.

Because sound must travel a long way from the outer to inner ear.

Because sound is harder to detect in air than in fluid.
