Based on the graph shown, what is the threshold of hearing in decibels for frequencies of 60, 400, 1000, 4000, and 15,000 Hz? Note that many AC electrical appliances produce 60 Hz, music is commonly 400 Hz, a reference frequency is 1000 Hz, your maximum sensitivity is near 4000Hz, and many older TVs produce a 15,750 Hz whine.
The human ear can respond to an extremely large range of intensities - the quietest sound the ear can hear is smaller than 10-20 times the threshold which causes damage after brief exposure. If you could measure distances over the same range with a single instrument, and the smallest distance you could measure was 1 mm, what would the largest be, in kilometers?
What is the speed of sound (in m/s) in a medium where a 189 kHz frequency produces a 0.614 cm wavelength?
Based on the graph in Figure 17.36, what is the threshold of hearing in decibels for frequencies of 60, 400, 1000, 4000, and 15,000 Hz? Note that many AC electrical appliances produce 60 Hz, music is commonly 400 Hz, a reference frequency is 1000 Hz, your maximum sensitivity is near 4000 Hz, and many older TVs produce a 15,750 Hz whine. Figure 17.36 The relationship of loudness in phons to intensity level (in decibels) and intensity (in watts per meter squared) for persons with normal hearing. The curved lines are equal-loudness curves—all sounds on a given curve are perceived as equally loud. Phons and decibels are defined to be the same at 1000 Hz.
The factor of 10-12 in the range of intensities to which the ear can respond, from threshold to that causing damage after brief exposure, is truly remarkable. If you could measure distances over the same range with a single instrument and the smallest distance you could measure was 1 mm, what would the largest be?
A sound wave is modeled as P=1.80Pasin(55.41m1x18,840s1t) . What is the maximum change in pressure, the wavelength, the frequency, and the speed of the sound wave?
People with good hearing can perceive sounds as low as -8.00 dB at a frequency of 3000 Hz. What is the intensity of this sound in watts per meter squared?
Why can a hearing test show that your threshold of hearing is 0 dB at 250 Hz, when Figure 17.37 implies that no one can hear such a frequency at less than 20 dB? Figure 17.37 The shaded region represents frequencies and intensity levels found in normal conversational speech. The O-phon line represents the normal hearing threshold, while those at 40 and 60 represent thresholds for people with 40- and 60-phon hearing losses, respectively.
What frequency is received by a mouse just before being dispatched by a hawk flying at it at 25.0 m/s and emitting a screech of frequency 3500 Hz? Take the speed of sound to be 331 m/s.
A person has a hearing threshold 10 dB above normal at 100 Hz and 50 dB above normal at 4000 Hz. How much more intense must a 100-Hz tone be than a 4000-Hz tone if they are both barely audible to this person?
What sound intensity level in dB is produced by earphones that create an intensity of 4.00102W/m2 ?
The amplitude of a sound wave is measured in terms of its maximum gauge pressure. By what factor does the amplitude of a sound wave increase if the sound intensity level goes up by 40.0 dB?
