The range of frequencies AUDIBLE to a normal human ear is approximately:
A20 Hz to 20,000 Hz
BUp to 1 Hz only
C1000 Hz to 1,00,000 Hz
D10 Hz to 100 Hz
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz
Humans can hear sounds with frequency roughly between 20 Hz (very low pitch) and 20,000 Hz (very high pitch). Sounds outside this range are inaudible to humans.
