- Aoccipital lobe
- Btemporal lobes
- Cparietal lobes

4If you project a red, a green, and a blue light into space, the point at which the three lights cross will lead to the perception of
- Ablack light
- Bultraviolet light
- Cwhite light
- Dinfrared light
5The perception associated with the amplitude of a sound wave is
- Atimbre
- Bloudness
- Ctonal quality
- Drichness
6The structure of the ear that transduces sound vibrations into verve impulses is the
