Questions and CORRECT Answers
Attack - CORRECT ANSWER - ~also called "Rise"
~time from silence to maximum amplitude
Release - CORRECT ANSWER - ~also called "Fall"
~time from maximum amplitude to silence
Compression - CORRECT ANSWER -
Rarefaction - CORRECT ANSWER - decrease in molecule density
Frequency - CORRECT ANSWER - number of cycles completed per second
Amplitude - CORRECT ANSWER - displacement from equilibrium position
Phase - CORRECT ANSWER - ~position of the waveform in its cycle at a specific
moment in time
~refers to the particular point of a cycle
~expressed in degrees of angle
, Period (t) - CORRECT ANSWER - time it takes to complete one cycle
P = 1/f
Wavelength - CORRECT ANSWER - physical length of a single cycle
wavelength = speed of sound (c)/ frequency (f)
Peak Amplitude - CORRECT ANSWER - maximum displacement of the waveform from
the baseline
Peak-to-Peak Amplitude - CORRECT ANSWER - difference in displacement between the
largest amplitude above the baseline and largest amplitude below baseline
Envelope - CORRECT ANSWER - pattern of change in amplitude
Damping - CORRECT ANSWER - reduction of the amplitude of a sound or sound
pressure
Frequency Modulation - CORRECT ANSWER - the frequency of the wave is varied
Amplitude Modulation - CORRECT ANSWER - the amplitude of the wave is varied
Beats - CORRECT ANSWER - ~when two sinusoids with slightly different frequencies
are presented simultaneously, a "beating stimulus" is created
~perceives as a tone with loudness that beats
Beat Stimulus Frequency= (f1 + f2)/2
