SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the ear resonance frequency for a swimmer with an ear canal length of 5 cm filled with water, where the velocity of sound in water is 1500 m/s. The resonance frequency can be determined using the formula for a closed-end column of fluid. The fundamental frequency is calculated as approximately 1500 Hz, which indicates the frequency at which the ear is most sensitive due to resonance.
