Yes. Even something as simple as plucking a string will generate a main frequency, as well as the so-called "harmonics", which are the main frequency multiplied by 2, by 3, by 4, etc.

We use our ears to hear sounds. The ear collects sound waves, which are then transmitted as electrical signals to the brain through the auditory nerve. The brain interprets these signals as sounds.


Are there sounds we can not hear?

Human hearing is most effective in the range of about 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Slightly lower frequency sounds may be heard or "felt." Some sounds outside this range can be heard by some individuals. Some animals have a wider range of hearing, such as dogs who can hear higher pitched (higher frequency) sounds.


What you hear is pitch which is related to what?

What you hear is pitch, which is related to the frequency of sound waves. Higher frequencies produce higher pitch sounds, while lower frequencies produce lower pitch sounds. Our perception of pitch depends on how fast or slow these sound waves vibrate.


What allows you hear sounds in a room when you are standing outside the door?

Sound waves can travel through the air and reach your ears even if you are standing outside a room. The sound waves can pass through the cracks and gaps around the door, allowing you to hear sounds from inside.


Why can bat hear much higher sounds than humans?

bats can hear sounds of higher frequency than humans (supersonic) because they produce them and these sound waves echo back to them by bouncing of items so that they can see how far something is. Just like in submarines. therfore they need to 'hear' these 'supersonic' waves to see.


When you hear sounds do the molecules of air move from the place where the sound began all the way to your ears?

No, when you hear sounds, the vibrations from the source of the sound travel through the air as waves of pressure. These waves cause the molecules in the air to vibrate, but the molecules themselves do not travel from the source of the sound to your ears.

Ultrasound waves are waves with a frequency higher than ahuman can hear state the highest frequency that human can hear?

The highest frequency that a human can hear is around 20,000 Hz, or 20 kHz. Beyond this frequency, sounds are considered to be ultrasound, which is not detectable by the human ear.


What makes it possible for your ear to hear?
