How does the frequency of light compare to the frequency of sound?
-- The highest frequency of sound audible to the human ear is of the order of 20,000 Hz.-- The lowest frequency of light visible to the human eye is of the order of 375,000,000,000,000 Hz.
Is The frequency of the lowest sound that the normal human ear can perceive ranges between 16 and 20 Hertz?
no
What must happen in order for a sound wave to form?
You need matter to vibrate at a frequency that is detectable to the listener.
What is the frequency range for human audiable sound?
The frequency range for human audible sound is 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz.
What is the human perception of the frequency of sound?
I think you mean pitch.

What is the frequency range for human audiable sound?
The frequency range for human audible sound is 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz.
What is the ratio of frequency of visible light to frequency of audible sound?
The lowest frequency of visible light ... assume wavelength = 750 nm ...is around 400,000 GHz.The highest frequency of audible sound is around 20 KHz.So the smallest ratio ... lowest frequency of light to highest frequency of sound ...is 4 x 1014/2 x 104 = 20 billion .
What is the human perception of the frequency of sound?

What is pitch in relation to sound?
Pitch is often used to represent the frequency of a sound in music. It is distinguished from frequency though, because pitch involves how a human perceives that sound.
Which band of the electromagnetic spectrum has the lowest frequency?
That would be sound waves, or the audio spectrum.
What is the frequency of the ultrasound compared to the sound?
Ultrasound cannot be heard as it has a higher frequency than audible sound, with a frequency above 20000Hz.
What name is given to the sounds which a cat can hear but a human cannot?
Sound with a frequency lower than about 20 cycles per second, called infrasonic sound. Sound with a frequency higher than about 20,000 cycles per second, called ultrasonic sound. Only those with excellent hearing can perceive sound at these extremes. As we age and as our hearing is damaged by exposure to loud sounds, the frequency range of hearing is reduced. Some animals can hear sounds above and below the range of humans.
A low energy electromagnetic wave would also have?
the lowest frequency Lester was here
Does the human voice contains only one frequency of sound at a time?
no
