Wednesday, October 05, 2005: Listen to the following sound file.
It contains sequences of the following groups of sounds: Listen to the Beats
- 300Hz right channel; 301Hz left channel; (300Hz right and 301 Hz left simultaneously
- 300Hz right channel; 305Hz left channel; (300Hz right and 305 Hz left simultaneously
- 300Hz right channel; 310Hz left channel; (300Hz right and 310 Hz left simultaneously
- 300Hz right channel; 350Hz left channel; (300Hz right and 350 Hz left simultaneously
- 300Hz right channel; 400Hz left channel; (300Hz right and 400 Hz left simultaneously; 100 Hz both channels; (300Hz right and 400 Hz left simultaneously
Today’s
PowerPoint on Sound
Propagation.
Monday, October 03, 2005: I would recommend to listen to the
following sound samples using the “Waves and Bars: scope” setting for the
graphics on Windows Media Player:
1.
Three subsequent sinusoidal
tones at 300 Hz, 400 Hz, and 500 Hz
2.
Three sequences of
increasingly long wave trains of 300 Hz, 400 Hz, 500 Hz sinusoidal shape (Mathematica notebook)
I also felt
the need to add some organization to our class topics: below are “tables of
contents” for our first three chapter, which may be useful for you as a
organization device:
