What does a frequency response curve indicate about the sensitivity of human hearing at different frequencies?.
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- A frequency response curve shows how sensitive human hearing is across various frequencies.
- It typically indicates that humans are most sensitive to frequencies between 1 kHz and 4 kHz, where the curve peaks.
- This implies that sounds within this range are heard more easily than those at lower or higher frequencies, which may require higher sound levels to be perceived.
Explanation
Why this works
The answer effectively describes the relationship between frequency and hearing sensitivity, demonstrating an understanding of how frequency response curves function. This question tests the student's ability to interpret graphical data related to auditory perception.
