  3. Hearing range - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_range

    Hearing range describes the frequency range that can be heard by humans or other animals, though it can also refer to the range of levels. The human range is commonly given as 20 to 20,000 Hz, although there is considerable variation between individuals, especially at high frequencies, and a gradual loss of sensitivity to higher frequencies ...

  4. Voice frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_frequency

    The voiced speech of a typical adult male will have a fundamental frequency from 90 to 155 Hz, and that of a typical adult female from 165 to 255 Hz. [3] Thus, the fundamental frequency of most speech falls below the bottom of the voice frequency band as defined. However, enough of the harmonic series will be present for the missing fundamental ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyristor

    A thyristor (/ θaɪˈrɪstər /) is a solid-state semiconductor device which can be thought of as being a highly robust and switchable diode, allowing the passage of current in one direction but not the other, often under control of a gate electrode, that is used in high power applications like inverters and radar generators.

    They were all over 18 years old at the time of the investigation. Regardless of age, urbanity or rurality, ethnic groups, or provinces, the average height of males was 169.60 cm, while the average height of females was 158.88 cm. The gender difference was significant (P< 0.000). ^ Meisel, Adolfo & Vega, Margarita.

  8. Vocal register - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocal_register

    e. A vocal register is a range of tones in the human voice produced by a particular vibratory pattern of the vocal folds. These registers include modal voice (or normal voice), vocal fry, falsetto, and the whistle register. [ 1 ][ 2 ][ 3 ] Registers originate in laryngeal function. They occur because the vocal folds are capable of producing ...

  9. Sex differences in human physiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_differences_in_human...

    Sex differences in human physiology are distinctions of physiological characteristics associated with either male or female humans. These differences are caused by the effects of the different sex chromosome complement in males and females, and differential exposure to gonadal sex hormones during development. Sexual dimorphism is a term for the ...
