Question
Why do we hear buzzing bees but not pendulum vibrations?
Open in App
Solution
Buzzing bees and pendulum vibrations:
Sounds between
20
Hz
and
20
KHz
are detectable by the human ear.
These are called Audible Sounds
.
Human ears are incapable of hearing frequencies below
20
Hz
and over
20
KHz
.
Humming bees produce sound by beating their wings, and their frequency ranges from
20
Hz
to
20000
Hz
, which is audible.
The pendulum, on the other hand, produces sound at a frequency of less than
20
Hz
, which is below the audible range, and we don't hear it.
