Question

The auditory canal is about 2.5 cm long, and since it is much like an open-ended organ pipe, resonance can arise from the production of standing waves in the auditory canal [19]. The velocity of sound in air is vair=331mThe auditory canal is about 2.5 cm long, and sinces. What is the fundamental frequency of the ear?

Answer 1

The fundamental frequency of the ear is 6620 Hz.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given-

Auditory Canal acts as an open-ended organ pipe

Length of the Auditory canal, l = 2.5 cm = 0.025 m

Velocity of sound, v = 331 m/s

Frequency, n = ?

We know,

For open organ pipe, frequency, n = v/2 l

So, n = 331 / 2 X 0.025

n = 6620 Hz

Therefore, the fundamental frequency of the ear is 6620 Hz.
