What is the difference between the hearing threshold for high frequencies and low frequencies?.
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- The hearing threshold for high frequencies is typically higher than that for low frequencies, meaning that humans can hear lower frequency sounds at lower sound pressure levels compared to higher frequencies.
Explanation
Why this works
This answer is strong because it clearly defines the hearing thresholds for both high and low frequencies, identifies the key difference in sensitivity, and explains that humans generally have better sensitivity to lower frequencies. This question tests the understanding of how frequency affects hearing sensitivity.
