उत्तर
The frequency of the sound produced by the movement of a mosquito’s wings lies within the human audible range (20 Hz to 20,000 Hz), whereas the sound produced by the movement of our hands has a frequency below 20 Hz, which is inaudible to humans. Therefore, we can hear the movement of a mosquito's wings but not that of our hands.
