L4 OF 73 dB. FIND THE CORRESPONDING INTENSITY I.
Resonances of the ear canal lead to increased sensitivity of hearing, as we've seen. Dogs have a much
longer ear canal-5.2 cm-than humans. What are the two lowest frequencies at which dogs have an
increase in sensitivity? The speed of sound in the warm air of the ear is 350 m/s.
A 1700 Hz, 3400 Hz
B. 1700Hz, 5100Hz
C. 3400 Hz, 6800 Hz
D. 3400 Hz, 1 0,200 Hz
The auditory canal of the human ear extends about 2.5 cm from the outer ear to the eardrum.a) Explain why the human ear is especially sensitive to sounds with frequencies close to 3500 Hz. Use v = 344m / s.
b) Would you expect the ear to be especially sensitive to frequencies near 7000 Hz?At 10,500 Hz? Why?

- Your ear is capable of differentiating sounds that arrive at each ear just 0.34 ms apart, which is useful in determining where low frequency sound is originating from. (a) Suppose a low-frequency sound source is placed to the right of a person, whose ears are approximately 18 cm apart, and the speed of sound generated is 340 m/s. How long is the interval between when the sound arrives at the right ear and the sound arrives at the left ear? (b) Assume the same person was scuba diving and a low-frequency sound source was to the right of the scuba diver. How long is the interval between when the sound arrives at the right ear and the sound arrives at the left ear, if the speed of sound in water is 1500 m/s?
