what is audible range of frequencies of sound in humans?calculate the corresponding range of audible wavelengths.

The audible range of frequencies of sound in humans typically spans from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. To calculate the corresponding range of audible wavelengths, we can use the formula:

Wavelength (λ) = Speed of Sound (v) / Frequency (f)

The speed of sound in air at room temperature is roughly 343 meters per second (m/s).

For the lower frequency limit of 20 Hz:

λ = 343 m/s / 20 Hz
λ ≈ 17.15 meters (or 1715 centimeters)

For the upper frequency limit of 20,000 Hz:

λ = 343 m/s / 20,000 Hz
λ ≈ 0.01715 meters (or 1.715 centimeters)

Therefore, the corresponding range of audible wavelengths in humans is approximately 17.15 meters (or 1715 centimeters) to 0.01715 meters (or 1.715 centimeters).

20-20,000 hz is the usual cited range. I suspect maybe toddlers have that range,but it reduces as folks age, are exposed to disease, noise, and rock music, and guns. I can't hear much above 3000hz, and I have to "feel" the 40hz in the opening of "Thus Spake Zarathustra". I hear it as a slight buzz.
