Imagine that the basilar membrane in the human ear were longer.What might you expect humans to be able to do,based on place theory

A)  localize sounds more accurately 
B)  hear more sounds of lower frequency, but lose some higher frequency sounds 
C)  hear a wider range of sounds 
D)  detect sound waves that had a lower amplitude

Place Theory

A hearing theory that suggests different areas of the cochlea are activated by different frequencies of sound, enabling us to distinguish pitches.

Basilar Membrane

A membrane in the cochlea of the inner ear that plays a key role in the sense of hearing by vibrating in response to sound and facilitating auditory processing.

Lower Frequency

Refers to sounds or waves that have a lower rate of vibration, and thus a deeper pitch or longer wavelength.
