Can the ear distinguish two pure tones having the same frequency and amplitude?

No, the ear cannot distinguish two pure tones having the same frequency and amplitude.


What detemines the pitch of a sound wave?

The pitch of a sound wave is determined by its frequency. Higher frequency waves correspond to higher pitches, while lower frequency waves correspond to lower pitches. The human ear perceives frequency as pitch.


How Loudness is how the ear perceives frequency?

Loudness refers to the perceived intensity or volume of sound, while frequency relates to the pitch of sound waves. The ear perceives different frequencies based on the vibrations of the sound waves, with higher frequencies perceived as higher pitches and lower frequencies perceived as lower pitches. Loudness is influenced by the amplitude of sound waves, with greater amplitude resulting in louder sounds.


What factor determine's the pitch of sound?

Pitch is determined by sound wave frequency; how fast something is vibrating. High-pitched sounds are higher frequency meaning they are vibrating faster. Low pitch means they are vibrating slower.


What is the highest frequency sound that can be heard by the human ear?

The highest frequency sound that can be heard by the human ear is around 20,000 Hz.


In the Weber test why does the ear that perceives the sound as being louder the deaf ear?

The Weber test involves placing a tuning fork on the middle of the forehead to compare sound conduction in both ears. If the deaf ear perceives the sound as being louder, it suggests conductive hearing loss in that ear, where the sound is better conducted through bone than air, making it seem louder than in the non-deaf ear.


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.


How does the human ear function to perceive and interpret sound?

The human ear perceives sound through three main parts: the outer ear collects sound waves, the middle ear amplifies and transmits them, and the inner ear converts them into electrical signals that the brain interprets as sound.


What frequency can the human ear detect?

The human ear can typically detect frequencies ranging from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. This range is known as the audible frequency range.


Why are some sounds higher pitch then others?

Sounds of different pitch are caused by differences in their frequency. Sounds with higher pitch have higher frequencies, meaning that the sound wave vibrates at a faster rate compared to lower-pitched sounds. The human ear perceives these vibrations as higher or lower pitch.


How does your ear respond to different sounds?

The ear responds logarithmically to different sounds. The ear which is divided into inner ear, outer ear and middle ear responds differently according to sound frequency and intensity.


Which part of the ear vibrates at the frequency of sound waves?

The eardrum
