What is the name of the auditory stimulus in its most basic form?
Antworten
  • The sinewave or "pure tone"
  • The coswave or "pure tone"
  • The sinewave or "basic tone"
  • The coswave or "basic tone"

Frage 2

Frage
What are the three principle elements that contribute to variations in sound?
Antworten
  • Frequency, amplitude and phase
  • Frequency, pitch and phase
  • Timbre, amplitude and phase
  • Timbre, rhythm and localisation

Frage 3

Frage
What is frequency?
Antworten
  • The duration it takes for a single pressure change to occur
  • The rate at which action potentials fire in the primary auditory cortex
  • The rate at which pressure changes are propagated
  • The duration it takes for a single action potential to fire in the primary auditory cortex

Frage 4

Frage
How is frequency measured?
Antworten
  • In Hertz (Hz) i.e. the number of cycles per second
  • In deciBels (dB) i.e. the number of cycles per second
  • In Hertz (Hz) i.e. the intensity of the compression and rarefaction
  • In deciBels (dB) i.e. the intensity of the compression and rarefaction

Frage 5

Frage
What sound element does frequency determine?
Antworten
  • Loudness

Frage 6

Frage
What is amplitude?
Antworten
  • The difference between the maximum pressure and the atmospheric pressure
  • The difference between minimum pressure and atmospheric pressure
  • The difference between maximum pressure and minimum pressure
  • The combination of maximum pressure and atmospheric pressure

Frage 7

Frage
How is amplitude expressed/measured?
Antworten
  • Percentage

Frage 9

Frage
What is phase?
Antworten
  • The angle in degrees between the maximum and minimum points in the wave cycle.
  • The angle in degrees at a specific point in the wave cycle.
  • The frequency in Hz at a specific point in the wave cycle.
  • The frequency in Hz between the maximum and minimum points in the wave cycle.
