Describe infrasonic and ultrasonic waves and explain why humans can not hear them?
The human ear cannot detect all possible frequencies. It has evolved to detect frequencies of sounds that are the most useful to humans, and has a maximum frequency range of about 20Hz to 20kHz, which decreases as you get older, particularly at the higher end. Infrasonic describes sounds that are too low in frequency to be heard by the human ear, and ultrasonic describes sounds that are too high in frequency to be heard by the human ear. These sounds cannot be heard by the human ear because they are outside of its range of capability.
Frequency response of the human ear?
The average response of a human ear at the ear drum is flat to about 500 Hz with a peak around 2.5KHz.
Which wave can your eye detect?
If you mean, "which wavelengths of light can the human eye detect," the human eye can see wavelengths from about 390 to 700 nanometers.
What is the difference between audible and inaudible sound waves?
The difference is that an audible sound can be heard, an inaudible can't. The human ear can detect vibrations between 20 and 20,000 cycles per second (for a young person; for an old person the range is less), so that range would be audible, anything outside that range is inaudible.The difference is that an audible sound can be heard, an inaudible can't.

What organ in the perch fish is most closely related in function to a human's ear?
The lateral lines are most closely related to the human ear. They detect vibrations not sound.
How does your ear detect movement?
by the ear drum vibrating

How the human ear and other parts of the body receive or detect sound waves?
by our sense organ which depend upon the situation and overflow the nervous system.
Do both ear detect a sound at the sametime?
yes
