Where all the colors overlap, the color is white; this is the surface where all colors are reflected. Frequency: corresponds to our perception of pitch. Length of the sound waves: perceived as high and low sounds (pitch) Amplitude: corresponds to our perception of loudness. Height or intensity of sound waves: perceived as loud and soft volume. Complexity: corresponds to our perception of timbre. Sound needs a medium to travel through: solid, liquid, or air. Inner ear: sound waves are transduced into coded neural messages.
