Question:

For high-frequency sounds, the ear's principal method of localization is the difference in intensity sensed by the two ears. Why can't the ear reliably use this method for low-frequency sounds? Doesn't the head cast a "sound shadow" regardless of the frequency? Explain. [Consider diffraction of sound waves around the head.]
