The basilar membrane of cochlea

[A] : Hair cells on the basiiar membrane are responsible for hearing. [R]: Pressure waves which begin at the oval window, cause the basilar membrane to vibrate so that the cilia of the hair celis touch the tectorial membrane. This causes hair cells to initiate nerve impulses

Change in temperature of the medium changes a) frequency of sound waves b) amplitude of sound waves c) wavelength of sound waves. d) loudness of sound waves

Represent graphically by two separate diagrams in each case : (i) Two sound waves having the same amplitude but different frequencies. (ii) Two sound waves having the same frequency but different amplitudes. (iii) Two wound waves having different amplitudes and also different wavelengths.
