PSYCH 2MA3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Sine Wave, Reverberation, Sound
Document Summary
Viraphone is somewhat like sign wave, less complex waveform. Instruments sound di erent due to their di erent overtone. Trombone has more of a aggressive and brassy sound. Speci c periods: (1/hz), the higher the frequency the shorter the period is. It"s di cult to tell the wave form depending on the perspective of the wave, as they might have a lot of milliseconds. Add the other waves points together and you will get a more complex wave. Important to have the right architecture of the hall. Sound propagation: sound radiates into all direction: very similar to the ripples of a water drop, sound is coming in regular intervals, sound radiates out in three dimensions through a sphere. Ear collects 100 of acoustic images of the sound. They can amply energy depending on how they are collected. They contribute to our sense of space.
