Answer to Problem 9R
The range of human hearing is
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The human hearing is specified for a particular band of frequencies and a particular range of intensities. Sound waves beyond this particular range cannot be heard by the human ear.
The human ear identifies frequencies between
Conclusion:
Hence, the range of human hearing in decibels is
