A child has a hearing loss of 60 dB near 5000 Hz, due to noise exposure, and normal hearing elsewhere. How much more intense is a 5000ā€”Hz tone than a 400-Hz tone if they are both barely audible to the child?

14.1. BIO (a) Music. When a person sings, his or her vocal cords vibrate in a repetitive pattern that has the same frequency as the note that is sung. If someone sings the note B flat, which has a frequency of 466 Hz, how much time does it take the person's vocal cords to vibrate through one complete cycle, and what is the angular frequency of the cords? (b) Hearing. When sound waves strike the eardrum, this membrane vibrates with the same frequency as the sound. The highest pitch that young humans can hear has a period of 50.0 us. What are the frequency and angu- lar frequency of the vibrating eardrum for this sound? (c) Vision. When light having vibrations with angular frequency ranging from 2.7 X 10" rad/s to 4.7 x 101 rad/s strikes the retina of the eye, it stimulates the receptor cells there and is perceived as vis- ible light. What are the limits of the period and frequency of this light? (d) Ultrasound. High-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) are used to probe the interior of the body, much as x rays do. To detect small objects such as tumors, a frequency of around 5.0 MHz is used. What are the period and angular frequency of the molecu- lar vibrations caused by this pulse of sound?
