,d. 60 Hz
e. 70 Hz - ✔✔d. 60 Hz
is specific in eliminating electrical or 60Hz artifact
3.
A spike that has a frequency of 16 Hz has a duration of
a. .06 sec.
b. .6 sec.
c. .6 milliseconds
d. 600 milliseconds - ✔✔a. .06 sec.
Duration = 1 divided by the duration
4.
All of the following are true of alpha EXCEPT

,c. attenuates with eye opening and accentuates with eye closing
d. is frequently seen in the front-central regions of the alert, awake adult - ✔✔d. is
frequently seen in the front-central regions of the alert, awake adult
5.
What affect would changing the HF from 70Hz to 30Hz have on a spike and wave
complex?
a. no affect
b. will decrease the frequency of the spike and wave complex
c. will decrease the amplitude of the slow wave
d. will decrease the amplitude of the spike - ✔✔d. will decrease the amplitude of the
spike
HF affects fast wave. Spikes are fast and change in the HF will decrease the amplitude
of the spike.
6.

awake, relaxed adult
7.
_____ is 1 divided by the duration of the wave in seconds.
a. duration
b. frequency
c. voltage
d. amplitude - ✔✔b. frequency
