• Amplitude

• Wavelength

• Frequency

• Speed

Open Ended

How do the physical properties of sound waves, such as wavelength and amplitude, influence our perception of sound?

Open Ended

Explain how amplitude affects the loudness of a sound wave.

Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements about the Place Theory of pitch perception is correct?

• It states that pitch is determined by the rate of neural impulses.

• It suggests that different sound waves trigger activity at different places along the cochlea’s basilar membrane.

• It explains how neural cells work together to process high frequencies.

• It is unrelated to the cochlea.

Multiple Select

Which theories of pitch perception involve the rate at which neural impulses are sent to the brain?

• Place Theory

• Frequency Theory

• Volley Theory

• Amplitude Theory

Open Ended

Describe how the brain is able to localize the source of a sound based on the information received by both ears.

Open Ended

How does age impact our hearing?

Multiple Choice

Which of the following best describes sensorineural hearing loss?

• It is caused by damage to the cochlea’s hair cells or the auditory nerve.

• It is caused by damage to the bones of the middle ear.

• It is temporary and always reversible.

• It only affects one ear.

Open Ended

What is one question you still have about the physical properties of sound waves or how they relate to our auditory sensory system?

Multiple Choice

How does the wavelength of a sound wave affect the pitch of the sound?

• Shorter wavelength results in higher pitch

• Longer wavelength results in higher pitch

• Wavelength does not affect pitch

• Wavelength affects only loudness
