This advanced study document provides 80+ high-accuracy multiple-choice questions with correct answers, expertly tailored for COMD 5070 (Speech Science/Instrumentation) students preparing for exams in the 2025/2026 academic year. The content comprehensively covers core concepts in acoustics, auditory physiology, voice signal analysis, and digital sound processing, ensuring a solid grasp of both theoretical and applied aspects of speech communication science. Major topics include: Acoustic fundamentals: air pressure changes, frequency, intensity, amplitude, and the inverse square law Perception of sound: pitch, loudness, and voice quality under stress Signal types: analog vs digital, quantization, Nyquist frequency, and aliasing Voice and vocal fold dynamics: jitter, shimmer, stroboscopy, harmonic energy Spectrogram interpretation: time-frequency amplitude representation, voiceless vs voiced energy patterns Source-Filter Theory: role of larynx and vocal tract shaping vowels and consonants Consonant acoustics: stops, fricatives, affricates, nasals, and approximants Hearing science: decibel scales, sones, phons, hearing thresholds, MAF/MAP curves Cochlear implants: electrical vs acoustic hearing, nerve function requirements Instrumental assessment tools: laryngeal mirror, acoustic measurements, and voice analysis systems This document is ideal for: Graduate and undergraduate students enrolled in Communication Disorders, Speech-Language Pathology, and Audiology programs Students preparing for COMD 5070 exams at the University of Utah or similar acoustics-heavy courses in other institutions Learners reviewing for Praxis, comprehensive exams, or instrumentation-focused modules in speech science Faculty and tutors looking for a ready-to-use quiz bank or review tool for course reinforcement Thorough and clearly structured, this review guide provides a perfect blend of exam-level questions and conceptual clarity to help students excel in speech science and clinical instrumentation. Keywords: speech acoustics, digital signal processing, COMD 5070 exam, Nyquist frequency, jitter and shimmer, spectrogram analysis, voice source-filter model, cochlear implants, phon and sone scales, hearing threshold, analog to digital conversion, auditory science, frequency intensity amplitude, stroboscopy, vocal fold vibration
