  2. Electromagnetic spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum

    A diagram of the electromagnetic spectrum, showing various properties across the range of frequencies and wavelengths. The electromagnetic spectrum is the full range of electromagnetic radiation, organized by frequency or wavelength. The spectrum is divided into separate bands, with different names for the electromagnetic waves within each band.

    Electromagnetic – the hyperfine transition of hydrogen, also known as the hydrogen line or 21 cm line 2.4 GHz: Electromagnetic – microwave ovens, wireless LANs and cordless phones (starting in 1998) 2.6–3.8 GHz: A common desktop CPU speed as of 2014 5.8 GHz: Electromagnetic – cordless telephone frequency introduced in 2003 10 10: 10 GHz

  4. Radio frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_frequency

    Radio frequency (RF) is the oscillation rate of an alternating electric current or voltage or of a magnetic, electric or electromagnetic field or mechanical system in the frequency [1] range from around 20 kHz to around 300 GHz.

  5. Audio frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_frequency

    An audio frequency or audible frequency (AF) is a periodic vibration whose frequency is audible to the average human. The SI unit of frequency is the hertz (Hz). It is the property of sound that most determines pitch. [1] The generally accepted standard hearing range for humans is 20 to 20,000 Hz.

  6. RIAA equalization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIAA_equalization

    A recording is made with the low frequencies reduced and the high frequencies boosted, and on playback, the opposite occurs. The net result is a flat frequency response, but with attenuation of high-frequency noise such as hiss and clicks that arise from the recording medium. Reducing the low frequencies also limits the excursions the cutter ...

  7. Electrical characteristics of dynamic loudspeakers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_characteristics...

    This system has a characteristic mass and stiffness, and a resonant frequency at which the system will vibrate freely. This frequency is known as the free-space resonance of the loudspeaker and is designated by F s. At this frequency, the voice coil is vibrating in the speaker's magnetic field with maximum peak-to-peak amplitude and velocity.

  8. High frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_frequency

    HF's position in the electromagnetic spectrum.. High frequency (HF) is the ITU designation [1] [2] for the band of radio waves with frequency between 3 and 30 megahertz (MHz). It is also known as the decameter band or decameter wave as its wavelengths range from one to ten decameters (ten to one hundred meters).

  9. FM broadcasting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FM_broadcasting

    The use of pre-emphasis becomes a problem because many forms of contemporary music contain more high-frequency energy than the musical styles which prevailed at the birth of FM broadcasting. Pre-emphasizing these high-frequency sounds would cause excessive deviation of the FM carrier. Modulation control (limiter) devices are used to prevent this.
