____________________________________________________________

Explanation:

Place theory is a theory of hearing which declares that our judgment of sound depends on where each element frequency generates oscillations along the basilar layer. According to the frequency theory, the pulse rate of the nerve vibrations of the hearing nerve communicates to the rate of a pitch, which enables us to identify its pitch. The complete basilar layer is stimulated by sound waves at various frequencies.
