Question

The audible frequency range for a person is 30HZ to 16500HZ. Determine the largest wavelength of sound in air the person can detect (speed=340m/s)​

Answer 1

We have the formula,

V=λ×v

where,

V is the velocity of sound =330ms

−1

v is the frequency

λ is the wavelength

We have a range of frequencies from 20Hz to 20,000Hz

Hence for frequency v=20Hz, we have

330=20×λ

Therefore, λ=

20

330

m
