32
Which material generally has the strongest bond between molecules? (solid, liquid, or gas?)
solids
33
Why does sound travel faster through solids?
strong bonds in solid materials allows particles to interact with each other more easily than weaker bonds.
34
How does air pressure influence the speed of sound?
Air pressure influences the density of the air. Greater pressure = increased density of particles.
35
How does temperature influence the speed of sound?
Temperature influences the strength og the interaction between particles. Higher temperature causes interaction between particles to become more elastic (they are more easily separated)
36
True or false: the speed of a sound wave is dependent upon its frequency or wavelength?
false: The speed of a sound wave can be altered only by the properties of the medium which it travels (density, temperature, etc.)
37
Why do sounds travel farther at night?
This effect is due to temperature and refraction. In the day air is warmer toward the ground than the higher air above. This causes refraction- A difference in velocity causes the sound to bend upward to the cooler air. At night, air is cooler toward the ground and the sound waves bend downward. As a result, the sound waves appear to be traveling farther, as they stay closer to the ground across a greater distance.
38
What is our perception of pitch based on?
It is strongly based on the frequency of the sound wave, but it is also influenced by the intensity of the sound.

As the disturbance moves away from the source, air particles will alternately become more densely packed (compression areas) and more widely dispersed (areas of rarefaction)

Loudness vs. intensity
Loudness is a psychological sensation of perceived intensity. The human ear perceives loudness differently depending on a sound’s frequency (and spectral characteristics)
That is, the ear is a more efficient transducer at certain frequencies and less efficient at others

165

166
How does the Fletcher-Munson curve work?
The Fletcher-Munson curves show us that sounds at the extreme frequencies must be of greater IL to be heard “as loud” as sounds in the middle frequencies (2-4 kHz) it shows that Because the ear perceives loudness differently depending on the sound’s frequency, not all equally intense sounds are perceived as equally loud.

168
definition of loudness
Loudness, the psychological correlate of intensity, is scaled differently.
169
What is the phon scale?
The phon scale was arbitrarily created. A 10 dB IL sound presented at 1000 Hz has a loudness of 10 phons; a 20 dBIL sound at 1000 Hz is 20 phons, etc.
170
At what frequency is the ear more sensitive to hearing the difference in frequency?
The ear is more sensitive to frequency differences below 1000 Hz, than it is to frequency differences above 1000 Hz.
Consequently, 2 tones separated by the same frequency difference (100 Hz, e.g.), will be perceived as having a greater difference in pitch below 1000 Hz.
For Example, which pair of tones would the listener judge to have a greater difference in pitch?
1000 Hz - 1100 Hz (f = 100 Hz)

How to (manually) find F0 on a narrowband?
You need to know the frequencies (on the y-axis); find a convenient harmonic, high on the page that you can count up to reliably. Find which harmonic it is (for ex. 20th harmonic at 3500 Hz) (3500/20= 175 Hz)
227
Harmonics are wider or closer spaced for higher f0s
Wider
228
Verticle Striations in a wide bad
those in the glottal source that fell closest in frequency to the resonant frequencies in the vocal tract
229
What spectrogram would you need to see interharmonic energy?
Spectrogram - the only one you will see harmonincs?
230
sound source for /a/
vocal fold vibration
231
Narrow band higher FO then harmonics are ......
higher f0 harmonics are more widely spaced
232
wide band, higher FO the verticle striations are...
verticle striations are closer together
233
If a first harmonic is 4 HZ, What is the 20th harmonic?
4 times 20 = 80 Hz
| Harmonics are multiples of the first harmoinic.
234
sound sources for /dg/
vocal fold vibrations and noise in the oral cavity
235
/dg/
transient complex aperiodic, and complex quasi periodic
236
What spectrum would voiced /th/ have?
combined spectrum
237
What spectrum would /f/ have?
continuous
238
vocal fold vibration spectrum
line spectrum
239
noise in the oral cavity specturm
continuous spectrum
240
/h/ sound source
glottis (vocal folds) but not vibration
241
sound spectrum for /h/
continuous spectrum (it's noise)
242
How long is VOT for voiceless stops?
anything over 20 milliseconds
