Question

Ear is most sensitive to

• A. 20 cycles/sec
• B. 1,000 cycles/sec
• C. 10,000 cycles/sec
• D. 40,000 cycles/sec

Answer 1

The correct option is C 10,000 cycles/sec

C. 10000cycles/sec

Reason: Hearing range means the range of sound wave frequencies, which can be heard by humans or other animals.

Human audible range is generally 20 to 20,000 Hz (also known as cycles per second). So the most sensitive frequency for the human ear must be the median of this audible range that is almost 10000 cycles/second.

So the correct option is C.
