Determines the upper frequency limit of your audible region

Reference no: EM13668885

The size of your eardrum (the tympanum) partially determines the upper frequency limit of your audible region, usually among 16,000 Hz and 20,000 Hz. If the wavelength is on the order of twice the diameter of the eardrum and the air temperature is 200C, how wide is your eardrum? Is your answer reasonable?
