Suppose an adult female ring-necked duck is 17 in. long, and the length of her bill plus neck is about 6.0 cm.
Calculate the expected fundamental frequency ff of the
quack of the duck. For a rough but reasonable approximation,
assume that the sound is produced only in the neck and bill.
Suppose an adult male ring-necked duck is 18 in long.
If its other linear dimensions are scaled up in the same ratio
from those of the female, what would be the fundamental
frequency fm of its quack?
