GeneralClass 12AllAnswered 27 Mar 2026
Answer
20,000 Hz is greater than 20 Hz it's 1,000 times larger. This comparison represents the extremes of human hearing:
- 20 Hz: Very low bass, felt as much as heard (like a subwoofer)
- 20,000 Hz: Upper limit of hearing, very high treble (like a whistle)
Higher frequency means more cycles per second, higher energy, and shorter wavelength.
