| The approximate hearing ranges of some species are listed in the given table. | |
| Species | Hearing range (Hz) |
| Human | 20-20 000 |
| Cat | 45-60 000 |
| Rabbit | 360-40 000 |
| Tuna | 50-1 000 |
| Ferret | 16-45 000 |
| Bullfrog | 100-3 000 |
A) Cat
B) Tuna
C) Rabbit
D) Bullfrog
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
An animal can hear a sound if the frequency of vibration of the sound wave is within the animal?s hearing range. It can be observed from the given table that the hearing range of a rabbit is 360 Hz- 40,000 Hz. This means that a rabbit can hear sounds between the frequencies 360 Hz and 40,000 Hz. It cannot hear the sounds that are outside this range. Therefore, a rabbit cannot hear the sound produced by a flute having a frequency of 200 Hz. The correct answer is C.
