Answer

"Normal" varies by context:

  • Human hearing: 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz
  • Human voice: 85 Hz to 255 Hz (fundamental frequencies)
  • Visible light: 430 THz to 770 THz
  • AC electricity: 50 Hz or 60 Hz
  • Radio FM: 88 MHz to 108 MHz
  • Wi-Fi: 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz

Each application has its optimal frequency range based on physical properties and practical requirements.
