Q. The human ear is equipped to register sounds of frequencies between
A) 20 to 20,000 cycles per second
B) 1000 to 2000 cycles per second
C) 5000 to 7000 cycles per second
D) 5,000 to 10,000 cycles per second
Explanation
In human capacity of hearing is 16-20,000 cycles/second. The low frequencies sensitise the sensory cells of ear, near the tip of cochlea and high frequency towards the oval window.
