Questions Related to audible, infra and ultra sound with its application

The range of ________ vibrations is above 20,000 Hz

  1. ultrasonic

  2. Infrasonic

  3. Both 

  4. None


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The range of ultrasonic vibrations is above 20,000 Hz. These are high frequency sound waves beyond the range of human hearing.

Which of the following frequency of sound can't be heard by human beings?

  1. 40 Hz

  2. 400 Hz

  3. 4000 Hz

  4. 40,000 Hz


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Human ear can hear sound having frequency range from $20 \ Hz$ to $20 \ kHz$.

Thus sound of frequency $40,000 \ Hz$ can't be heard by human beings.

Which of the following frequency of sound can't be heard by human beings?

  1. 5 Hz

  2. 20 Hz

  3. 400 Hz

  4. 1000 Hz


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Human ear can hear sound having frequency range from $20 \ Hz$ to $20 \ kHz$.

Thus sound of frequency $5 \ Hz$ can't be heard by human beings.

The range of frequency of audible sound is ______ Hz to _____ Hz.

  1. 20, 20000

  2. 10, 20000

  3. 30,  30000

  4. 2, 2000


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The human hear responds to sounds with frequencies in the range from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. This is called the audible range of the human ear.

The range of frequency of audible or sonic vibrations is between 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. True or false

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

the Audible range  of frequency for human ear is 20Hz to 20000Hz 

so the answer is A.

The frequency which is not audible to the human ear is :

  1. 50 Hz

  2. 500 Hz

  3. 5000 Hz

  4. 50000 Hz


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The audible frequency range for human ear is from 20Hz to 20,000Hz , as out of the given frequencies , only frequency of 50000Hz doesn't lie in audible range , therefore it cannot be heard by human ear .

Audible vibrations have a frequency range of above 20,000 Hz. True or false.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The human hear can respond to minute pressure variations in the air if they are in the audible frequency range, roughly 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. The vibrations above or below this range is not audible by human.

We can hear sound of frequency -

  1. 1 Hz

  2. 100 Hz

  3. 10 Hz

  4. 40,000 Hz


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Humans cannot hear sound of every frequency. The range of hearing for a healthy young person is 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. This is called audible range of frequency. So, human can hear sound of frequency 100 Hz.

Which of the following animals can hear infrasounds?
a) Whale, b) Octopus, c) Rhino, d) Bat

  1. a, b and c

  2. a, b and d

  3. a and d

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Some animals like whale, octopus and rhino have special hearing abilities and can hear sounds below $20\ Hz$, i.e., the infrasounds.

The sounds that cannot be heard by humans are 

  1. inaudible sounds

  2. infrasounds

  3. ultra sounds

  4. all of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Humans can hear sounds having frequencies between the range of $20\ Hz$ and $20,000\ Hz$. The sounds above and below this range are inaudible to humans. The sounds below the range of $20\ Hz$ are called infrasounds and the sounds above the range of $20,000\ Hz$ are called ultrasounds. Both are inaudible to humans.
