Question

The sounds with frequencies greater than 20 kHz are called _____.

  1. Ultra sound
  2. Infra sound
  3. Super sound
  4. Supersonic sound

hintHint:

Ultrasound

The correct answer is: Ultra sound


    • The sound with frequencies greater than 20KHz is called ultrasound.
    • Ultrasound cannot be perceived by average human ear but some animals can perceive ultrasounds.
    • So, the correct option is a.

    • The audible frequency range is 20Hz to 20KHz.
    • The sound with frequencies less than 20Hz is called infrasound.
