The correct Answer is:
To answer the question, "Sounds that the human ear can detect are known as ____________," we need to understand the different ranges of sound frequencies and where human hearing fits in. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Sound Frequency Ranges**: - Sound can be categorized into different frequency ranges based on how humans perceive them. - Frequencies lower than 20 Hz are called **infrasonic sounds**. - Frequencies higher than 20,000 Hz are called **ultrasonic sounds**. 2. **Identify the Audible Range**: - The range of sound frequencies that humans can hear lies between 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz. - This specific range is known as the **audible range**. 3. **Conclude the Answer**: - Since the question asks for the term that describes sounds detectable by the human ear, and we have established that this range is called the audible range, we can fill in the blank. - Therefore, the answer is **audible range**. ### Final Answer: Sounds that the human ear can detect are known as **audible range**. ---

The faintest sound the human ear can detect at a frequency of 1000 Hz correspond to an intensity of about 1.00xx10^-12(W)/(m^2) , which is called threshold of hearing. The loudest sounds the ear can tolerate at this frequency correspond to an intensity of about 1.00(W)/(m^2) , the threshold of pain. Detemine the pressure amplitude and displacement amplitude associated with these two limits. Take speed of sound =342(m)/(s) and density of air =1.20(kg)/(m^3)

The faintest sound the human ear can detect at a frequency of kHz (for which ear is most sensitive) corresponds to an intensity of about 10^(-12)w//m^(2) . Assuming the density of air cong1.5kg//m^(3) and velocity of sound in air cong300m//s , the pressure amplitude and displacement amplitude of the sound will be rspectively ____ N//m^(2) and ____ m .

the maximum pressure variation that the human ear can tolerate in loud sound is about 30 N //m^(2) . The corresponding maximum displacement for a sound wave ina air having a frequency of 10^(3) Hz is take velocity of sound in air as 300 m/s and density of air 1.5 kg // m ^(3)
