What is the lowest frequency a human can ear?
20Hz
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.
What is the beat frequency sensible for human ear?
7 hz
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.
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.
What is the frequency of baby's cry?

What is the principle of the operation of UltraSonic sensor?
The principle of operation of any known sonic sensor (the human ear, for example) is detection of air vibration by measurement of its sensitive membrane oscillation frequency.
What is the beat frequency sensible for human ear?

What is the difference between frequency and pitch?
The human ear is capable of detecting sound at frequencies between about 20 and 20,000 Hz. Within this frequency range, however, the response of the ear is not uniform. The ear is most sensitive to frequencies between 200 and 4000 Hz, and its response decreases toward both higher and lower frequencies. There are wide variations in the frequency response of individuals. Some people cannot hear sounds above 8000 Hz, whereas a few people can hear sounds above 20,000 Hz. Furthermore, the hearing of most people deteriorates with age. The sensation of pitch is related to the frequency of the sound. The pitch increases with frequency. Thus, the frequency of middle C is 256 Hz, and the frequency of the A above is 440 Hz. There is, however, no simple mathematical relationship between pitch and frequency. frequency causes the different types of pitch
Which human organ interprets most of the information taken in by the five senses?
for me it should be the ear and nose because a normal human got five senses:eareyeskinnosemouthand ear and nose is the most sensitive part for human so,it is the part of body that sends the most info to the brain.
What is the lowest frenquency that humans can hear?
The lowest frequency that the human ear can detect is that of 20Hertz.
What is the properties of ultrasonic sound waves?
They have a frequency of above 20,000Hz inaudible to human ear.
What is the range of the human ear?
The audible range varies with age and noise exposure. In frequency, it runs from about 20Hz to about 20 000Hz.In loudness it runs from below 0dB, up to about 120dB.Note since these are average figures, one-half of the folk have more sensitive hearing, and one-half have less sensitive.
