Detailed Solution

A person has a hearing range from 20 Hz to 20 KHz with speed of sound 344 m/s then their wavelengths are 17.2 m and 0.0172 m respectively.
Given the range of frequencies 20 Hz to 20 KHz with velocity of sound v= 344 m/s.
For frequency n= 20 Hz
The wavelength of the sound wave λ is derived from the relation = nλ 
Where v is the velocity of the sound wave and n is the frequency
344 m/= 20 Hz × λ 
λ  = 17.2 m 
For frequency n=20 KHz The wavelength of the sound wave is given from the relation = nλ 
344 m/s= 20×103Hz×λ 
λ  = 0.017 m
