Q1. Some studies indicate that the upper frequency limit of hearing is determined by the diameter of the eardrum. The wavelength of the sound wave and the diameter of the eardrum are approximately equal at this up- per limit.
If this is so, what is diameter of the eardrum of a person capable of hearing 2.0 × 104 Hz? Imagine 337 m/s is the speed of sound in the ear. Reply in units of m
