Question

ip standing waves in the human ear the human ear canal is much like an organ pipe that is closed at one end (at the tympanic membrane or eardrum) and open at the other. a typical ear canal has a length of about \\(2.4\text{ cm}\\).

part a
what are the fundamental frequency and wavelength of the ear canal?
express your answer using two significant figures.

Explanation:

Calculate the fundamental wavelength of the ear canal

$$
LATEXBLOCK0
$$

Calculate the fundamental frequency using the speed of sound in air

$$
LATEXBLOCK1
$$
