The range of human hearing extends from approximately $20 \mathrm{Hz}$ to $20000 \mathrm{Hz}$. Find the wavelengths of these extremes when the speed of sound in air is equal to $343 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$
The audible frequency range for humans is from about 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Assuming that the speed of sound in air is 343 m / s, the wavelength of a 20 Hz sound is,
$\bullet\bullet$ The range of sound frequencies audible to the human ear extends from about $20 \mathrm{~Hz}$ to $20 \mathrm{kHz}$. If the speed of sound in air is $345 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s},$ what are the wavelength limits of this audible range?
