Question

The human ear canal is about 2.5 cm long, open to the air on the outside, but sealed by the tympanum or eardrum in the inside. Hearing is therefor especially sensitive at frequencies around 3500 Hz a) b) Explain why. At what other frequencies (20 <f< 20,000 Hz) might we expect improved hearing for the same reason? Totally trivial: The only bones in your body without an actual Latin name are the stirrups in your ears; equine stirrups did not appear in Europe until the Middle Age:s

Please explain mathematically.
