Upper frequency limit of hearing is decided by diameter

Reference no: EM13669713

Some studies indicate that the upper frequency limit of hearing is decided by the diameter of the eardrum. The wavelength of the sound wave and the diameter of the eardrum are approximately equal at this upper limit. If this is so, what is the diameter of the eardrum of a person capable of hearing 2.3 × 10⁴ Hz? Suppose m/s is the speed of sound in the ear.
