Answer: Absolute threshold

Explanation:

Absolute threshold is defined as lowest stage of stimulus that can be sensed by an individual in terms of seeing, touching, hearing etc.Identification of threshold stimulus tends to take place with lowest intensity of sound, image, touch and other objects.

According to the question,question raised by Professor Zander involves absolute threshold concept in which any noise should be above or equal to absolute threshold of sound to be heard according to 50 feet distance environment.

Answer:

<h2>Absolute Threshold</h2>

Explanation:

The smallest level of energy required by the external stimulus to be detectable by our senses is called absolute threshold. It is used in neuroscience, it helps us to find the minimum level of stimulus that a person's senses can detect.

Examples: Vision:A candle flame kept 20 miles away

Hearing - A clock ticking 20 feet away.

Professor Zander is also using the concept of absolute threshold to find loudness of sound that would be detectable form 50 feet away.
