Sound waves and our eyes are not directly related because sound is a phenomenon that is perceived through the sense of hearing, while our eyes are responsible for visual perception.

Sound waves are mechanical vibrations that propagate through a medium, such as air or water. When these sound waves reach our ears, they cause our eardrums to vibrate, which is then processed by our auditory system, allowing us to perceive and interpret sound.

On the other hand, our eyes detect and respond to electromagnetic waves in the visible light spectrum. These electromagnetic waves, known as light, interact with objects and are reflected or emitted from them. The light enters our eyes through the cornea, passes through the pupil, and is focused by the lens onto the retina at the back of the eye. The retina contains specialized cells called photoreceptors (rods and cones) that convert light energy into electrical signals, which are then transmitted to the brain through the optic nerve. The brain processes these signals to form visual perceptions.

In summary, sound waves are associated with our sense of hearing, while our eyes detect and interpret light waves to provide us with visual perception. The two sensory systems are separate and serve different functions in our perception of the world around us.
