Question

as the pitch of a sound gets higher, displacements of the basilar membrane multiple choice occur closer to the oval window. occur closer to the helicotrema. occur uniformly throughout the membrane. become greater in amplitude. become smaller in amplitude.

Explanation:

The basilar membrane is tonotopically organized. Higher - pitched sounds cause vibrations closer to the oval window, where the membrane is stiffer. Lower - pitched sounds cause vibrations closer to the helicotrema.

Answer:

occur closer to the oval window.
