What is a high pass filter? - allows high frequencies to pass through and holds back
lower frequencies
What is a low pass filter? - allows low frequencies to pass through and holds back
higher frequencies
What is a band pass? - allows a band of frequencies to pass through and holds back
higher and lower frequencies
What is a band reject? - rejects a band of frequencies and allows both higher and
lower frequencies
What is a frequency domain display? - a line spectrum that shows the frequency
components of a periodic sound
What is a time domain display? - shows the time or distance that waves travel, with
rises in air pressure over time
What is a spectrogram? - shows speech over time
What are the dimensions of a spectrogram? - x-axis shows time
y-axis shows frequency
darkness shows intensity
What is a harmonic and inharmonic series? - a harmonic series is the sequence of all
multiples of a base frequency (F0), and any deviation from this is an inharmonic series
What are the types of spectra? - FFT
