Human Ear. The auditory canal of the ear (see Fig. 16.4) is filled with air. One end is open, and the other end is closed by the eardrum. A particular person's auditory canal is 2.40 cm long and can be modeled as a pipe.
(a) What are the fundamental frequency and wavelength of this person's auditory canal? Is this sound audible?
(b) Find the frequency of the highest audible harmonic of this person's canal. Which harmonic is this?
