sound travels in waves, which will reflect of objects and into the human ear.

amplitude volume

the more hertz there are the closer together the the lowest not individual to be possibly waves are. played.

an overtone accompanying a fundamental tone at a fixed interval. chord

this word means when 3 or more notes are being played at the same time.

both the human ear and microphone has a diaphragm that is moved by the sound pressure of the sound waves.

8. Give 3 examples 9. If digital of ways in sound is which a represented sound by a series engineer of voltages can - on and off manipulate signals, or waveforms, 1s and 0s - 10. (a) How and the how is it is an 10. (b) technical represented analogue What is equipment in the waveform the that is used analogue represented sample to do so. domain? digitally? period? they can use eq to take out certain waveforms. they can is the also use number of compression samples to shorten per unit of the height of time the (usually waveform seconds) and noise taken from gates also a do the same continuous thing. waveforms as audio signal.

10. (e) How 11. What does a does 10. (c) higher DAC What is 10. (d) bit stand a What is depth for and sample sampling improve what rate of bit digital does it 48KHz? depth? audio? do?

i the most common sample rate used

DAC stands for digital to analog converter and what it does is convert digital to analog converter
