ACOUSTIC WAVEBAND Meaning and
Definition
-
Acoustic waveband refers to a range of frequencies within the overall spectrum of sound waves that are audible to humans. Sound waves are vibrations that propagate through a medium, typically air, and are perceived by the human ear as sound. The acoustic waveband encompasses the specific range of frequencies that can be detected and processed by the human auditory system.
The acoustic waveband is commonly described as ranging from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz, although this range can vary slightly from person to person. The lower limit of the waveband, 20 Hz, represents the frequency at which the human ear can detect the lowest pitch, known as the threshold of hearing. Similarly, the upper limit of 20,000 Hz represents the frequency at which the human ear can detect the highest pitch, known as the threshold of pain.
The waveband is commonly divided into smaller segments for better categorization and analysis. These segments include sub-bands such as the infrasonic range (below 20 Hz), audible range (20 Hz to 20,000 Hz), and ultrasonic range (above 20,000 Hz). Each sub-band is characterized by its own unique properties and can serve different purposes in various fields, including music, communication, and scientific research.
Understanding the properties and limitations of the acoustic waveband is crucial in fields such as audio engineering, music production, and audiology. It allows sound professionals to accurately capture, process, and reproduce sound, as well as diagnose and treat auditory disorders.

Etymology of ACOUSTIC WAVEBAND
The word "acoustic" can be traced back to the Greek word "akoustikos", which means "pertaining to hearing". It originated from the Greek word "akouein", meaning "to hear". The term "acoustic" refers to sound, specifically the study or properties of sound and its transmission.
The word "waveband" is a combination of "wave" and "band". "Wave" refers to a disturbance or oscillation that travels through a medium, such as sound waves or electromagnetic waves. "Band" in this context refers to a range or portion of frequencies. Thus, a "waveband" is a specific range or band of frequencies.
The term "acoustic waveband" combines these two concepts. It refers to a specific range of frequencies within the acoustic or sound wave spectrum.
