Answer:
20 Hz, 20000 Hz
0.0166 m, 16.6 m
Explanation:
The minimum frequency that a human ear can hear is 20 Hz
The maximum frequency that a human ear can hear is 20000 Hz.
v = Velocity of sound = 332 m/s
Wavelength is given by
[tex]\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{332}{20}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=16.6\ \text{m}[/tex]
The longest wavelength that can be heard by the human ear is 16.6 m
[tex]\lambda=\dfrac{332}{20000}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=0.0166\ \text{m}[/tex]
The shortest wavelength that can be heard by the human ear is 0.0166 m.
