PSYB51H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Tectorial Membrane, Sine Wave, Basilar Membrane
Document Summary
The weather is not very nice, and the boats disappear in the dark cloud. Now you see two buoys moving in the water, because of the wind. As you stand there looking at the buoys, you may say you can"t see anything because of the fog. However, someone might say, just be looking at the buoys, you can identify what"s going on in the lake. We have two cochlear, which translate similar waves to rich perceptions. Sound is created whenever an object is vibrating in some kind of a medium. This creates regions of space where molecules are dense and less dense. A wave is formed, from pressure, which travels in a medium from left to right. The speed of the propagation depends on the medium. A given molecule will move back and forth, it does not travel a particular distance. The wave is the only thing that travels, not the molecule .
