How do hearing thresholds differ between frequencies?.
- A.They are the same across all frequencies
- B.Lower frequencies have higher thresholds
- C.Higher frequencies have lower thresholds
- D.Lower frequencies have lower thresholds
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- Lower frequencies have lower thresholds
Explanation
Why this works
Hearing thresholds indicate the faintest sound that can be detected. Lower frequencies typically have lower thresholds, allowing them to be heard at quieter levels than higher frequencies, which require more sound intensity.
