Chapter 5 Flashcards
audible disturbance in air
Sound
vibratory motion that has one period of vibration
Simple harmonic motion
number of cycles per second (Hz)
Frequency
time taken to complete one cycle (m/sec)
Period
The frequency of a vibration is determined by… (2)
Mass and tension
What happens to frequency if we increase mass?
Decrease frequency
What happens to frequency if we increase tension?
Increase frequency
The property of matter that causes it to return to original shape after being deformed
Elasticity
property of a body that tends to oppose any change in velocity of the body
Inertia
the tendency for a body to vibrate at a specific frequency, based upon physical characteristics of the vibrating body.
Resonance
What is an example of resonance?
Singing vs normal speech, tuning fork made for 1 frequency
What are 3 factors needed to change resonant frequency?
length, tension, mass
What are the 3 stages of phonation?
Onset, Sustained phonation, offset
What occurs during onset?
Adduction of vocal folds, phonation begins and can be sustained
breath stream starts as folds adduct
Simultaneous attack “zero”
