Humans can hear with in a range of 20 Hz - 20,000 Hz. Below 20 Hz is infrasound, and above 20,000 Hz (20 kHz) is ultrasound.

Give an example of the other type of wave.?

An example of the other type of wave is a sound wave, which is a mechanical wave that travels through a medium, such as air or water, by causing the molecules in the medium to vibrate. Sound waves are produced by vibrating objects and are detected by the human ear.


What is a compression wave of gas liquid or solid that is detected by your ear?

A compression wave is not matter, it is a transference of energy.


What type of sound wave does a dog have?

What type of wave does sound travel in?

Longitudinal Wave


How are sound and vibration the same?

Sound and vibration are related because sound is a type of mechanical wave that is caused by a vibrating object. When an object vibrates, it creates pressure variations in the surrounding medium, such as air, which are detected by our ears as sound. Thus, vibrations are necessary for sound to exist.


In what type of wave is sound traveling in water?

Sound travels in water as a longitudinal wave.


What is the name of the mechanical wave that sound propagates with?

Sound propagates through a longitudinal wave, a type of mechanical wave.


What type of wave is a flute wave?

A flute wave is a type of sound wave, specifically a longitudinal wave. When a flutist plays a note, it creates a series of compressions and rarefactions in the air, resulting in a sound wave that travels through the air to reach our ears.


Why is a vibration necessary for a sound wave to form?

A sound wave is created by a disturbance in a medium, such as air, causing molecules to vibrate. This vibration generates changes in pressure that propagate through the medium as a wave, which can be detected as sound. Without the initial vibration, there would be no disturbance to create a sound wave.
