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.

If n_(1) and n_(2) are the frequencies of sound waves producing beats then the time interval between one maxima and next minima is

Statement given below is incorrect. Write the correct statement. The frequency of a sound wave is directly related to the power it carries.

Given below are some of the process which takes place in our ear when we are exposed to any sound. Arrange these in the correct order of sequence. (a)The eardrum vibrates the transmits the sound wave to the ear ossicles. (b) Vibration travel from oval window to the fluid of cochlea. (c) Ripples in the basilar membrane band the hair cell against the tectorial membrane (d) Generation of waves in the lymphs. (e ) sound waves are collected by the pinna. (f) generation of nerve impulse and transmission through auditory nerves to the brain
