Sound enters the ear, travels through the auditory c, and reaches the eardrum. The auditory c is approximately a tube open at only one end. The other end is closed by the eardrum. A typical length for the auditory c in an adult is about 2.34 cm. The speed of sound is 341 m/s. What is the fundamental frequency of the c? (Interestingly, the fundamental frequency is in the frequency range where human hearing is most sensitive.)
