Respuesta
  • The sinewave or "pure tone"
  • The coswave or "pure tone"
  • The sinewave or "basic tone"
  • The coswave or "basic tone"

Pregunta 2

Pregunta
What are the three principle elements that contribute to variations in sound?
Respuesta
  • Frequency, amplitude and phase
  • Frequency, pitch and phase
  • Timbre, amplitude and phase
  • Timbre, rhythm and localisation

Pregunta 3

Pregunta
What is frequency?
Respuesta
  • The duration it takes for a single pressure change to occur
  • The rate at which action potentials fire in the primary auditory cortex
  • The rate at which pressure changes are propagated
  • The duration it takes for a single action potential to fire in the primary auditory cortex

Pregunta 4

Pregunta
How is frequency measured?
Respuesta
  • In Hertz (Hz) i.e. the number of cycles per second
  • In deciBels (dB) i.e. the number of cycles per second
  • In Hertz (Hz) i.e. the intensity of the compression and rarefaction
  • In deciBels (dB) i.e. the intensity of the compression and rarefaction
