Question

The position on the basilar membrane at which waves reach their peak depends on the frequency of a tone according to which theory

Answer 1

As per Georg von Békésy's place theory, the position on the basilar film at which waves achieve their pinnacle relies upon the recurrence of a tone. High frequencies deliver waves that crest close to the shut end and are deciphered as shrill sound, while low-recurrence waves travel more remote, topping at the far end, and are translated as low-pitched.
