all that i need to know Flashcards
Amplitude (amplitud):
height from the middle
Crest (vågtopp):
highest part
Trough (vågdal):
lowest part
Wavelength (våglängd):
distance between crests
Fast =
high frequency
Slow =
low frequency
Low frequency →
low pitch/dark pitch
High frequency →
high pitch/light pitch
how to caluclate frequence?
Count number of peaks
Divide by total time
High amplitude →
loud
Low amplitude →
quiet
Oscilloscopes
Purpose:
Make a graph of a wave
How it works:
Measures voltage
Sound Level Meter
Measure the loudness of sound
How it works:
Microphone converts sound into electricity
Frequency Counter
Purpose:
Measure frequency
How it works:
Counts number of waves over time
Microphone
Purpose:
Increase sound
How it works:
The diaphragm vibrates a coil and uses a magnet to make electricity
