A person has a hearing range from 20Hz to 20Khz. What are the typical wave lengths of sound wave in air corresponding to these two frequen cies ? Take the speed of sound in air of 344ms^(-1) |

Answer» Speed = wave LENGTH `xx` frequency `= lambdaxx UPSILON` Speed of sound in air `=344m//s` (i) For `upsilon=20Hz` `lambda_(1)=upsilon//v=344//20=17.2m` (ii) For `upsilon=20000` Hz `lambda_(2)=upsilon//upsilon=344//20000=0.172`m Hence, for humans, the wavelengthrange for hearing is 0.0172 m to 17.2 m |
