determined the lowest possible sound which

to hoar the fainter sound
But when a sudden bright light was
fuvhed before him he again heard both
sounds
The flash of light the experimenters explained stimulated his brain to
keener perceptions It affected the eyes
first: then the ears This again showed a
direct relationship between the human eye
and the human ear

some obstructions, so these ripples flow

However, there is a definite difference in
these vibration- It is this difference which
