FIGURE 5

Motion of the tip and RL of a 22-μm tall hair bundle in response to a 1687 Hz, 120 dB SPL stimulus. Symbols denote measured points; the lines connecting these points are the sum of the harmonic components for each set of measurements. The RL moved by 0.21 μm peak. The tip moved 0.19 μm peak, and lagged the RL by 57.7°. The scale on the left applies to plots of dRL(t) and dTip(t) . The third plot shows both dDefl(t) according to the left scale and hair bundle rotation θ(t) according to the right scale, using the small angle approximation to the inverse tangent. θ(t) was 0.50° peak, and led deflection of the RL by 56.9°.
