Answer
  • It contains energy at all frequencies below 1800 and above 2200 Hz, but no energy in between
  • It contains energy at all frequencies between 1800 and 2200 Hz, but no energy outside of these parameters
  • It contains energy at all frequencies between 1600 Hz and 2000 Hz, but no energy outside of these parameters
  • It contains energy at all frequencies below 1600 Hz and above 2000 Hz, but no energy in between

Question 6

Question
Which statement does not apply to frequency-to-place conversion?
Answer
  • The point of max. displacement is near the apex of the basilar membrane for low frequencies
  • The point of max. displacement on the basilar membrane depends on the frequency of sound vibration
  • The point of max. displacement on the basilar membrane depends on the amplitude of sound vibration
  • The point of max. displacement is near the base of the basilar membrane for high frequencies

Question 7
