The pitch of a sound, (how high or low the sound is), is determined by the sound wave's __________.
amplitude
frequency
How loud a sound registers depends on its __________; the difference between the high and low pressure created by the sound wave.
frequency
amplitude
The cochlea is divided into 3 fluid-filled chambers. The middle chamber is lined by the basilar membrane, which is covered by around 20,000 fibers, which get longer as you go down the membrane. Different parts of the membrane vibrate with different pitches of sound. The higher frequency sound waves vibrate the part of the membrane with shorter fibers, and the lower frequency sound waves vibrate the part of the membrane with _________ fibers. This means that all the sounds you hear and how you recognize them is determined by which section of this membrane is vibrating at any given time.
thicker
thinner
longer
shorter
