My Sensation & Perception class asked a couple of questions I could
(at best) only speculate about. Can anyone help?
Here they are:
1) for sounds with frequencies above the human sensitivity range, are
the ear structures still able to vibrate or not? That is, is our
inability to 'hear' them due to the sensorineural or the conductive
aspects? Related to this, can super-high frequency waves damege
hearing?
2) How high are the frequencies that other mammalian species can
detect?
3) What are the frequency ranges used in ultrasound technology?
thanks for your help!
