  2. Overtone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overtone

    The relative volume or amplitude of various overtone partials is one of the key identifying features of timbre, or the individual characteristic of a sound. [3] Using the model of Fourier analysis, the fundamental and the overtones together are called partials.

  3. Violin acoustics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violin_acoustics

    Violin acoustics is an area of study within musical acoustics concerned with how the sound of a violin is created as the result of interactions between its many parts.These acoustic qualities are similar to those of other members of the violin family, such as the viola.

  4. Vibrato - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibrato

    Because amplitude varies directly with sound pressure (A = k 1 P) and sound pressure varies directly with distance (P = k 2 d), such that amplitude also varies directly with distance (A = k 1 (k 2 d) = k 1 k 2 d), the amplitude of the sound as perceived by the listener will be greatest when the speaker is at the point in its rotation closest to ...

  5. Amplitude - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amplitude

    Peak-to-peak amplitude (abbreviated p–p or PtP or PtoP) is the change between peak (highest amplitude value) and trough (lowest amplitude value, which can be negative). With appropriate circuitry, peak-to-peak amplitudes of electric oscillations can be measured by meters or by viewing the waveform on an oscilloscope .

  6. Comparison of analog and digital recording - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_analog_and...

    Using this technique, the audio data is stored as a sequence of fixed amplitude (i.e. 1-bit) values at a sample rate of 2.884 MHz, which is 64 times the 44.1 kHz sample rate used by CD. At any point in time, the amplitude of the original analog signal is represented by the density of 1's or 0's in the data stream.

  7. Ohm's acoustic law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohm's_acoustic_law

    Ohm's acoustic law, sometimes called the acoustic phase law or simply Ohm's law, states that a musical sound is perceived by the ear as a set of a number of constituent pure harmonic tones. [1] [2] The law was proposed by physicist Georg Ohm in 1843. [3]

  8. Harmonic series (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_series_(music)

    A "complex tone" (the sound of a note with a timbre particular to the instrument playing the note) "can be described as a combination of many simple periodic waves (i.e., sine waves) or partials, each with its own frequency of vibration, amplitude, and phase". [1] (See also, Fourier analysis.)

  9. Sound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound

    Sound waves are often simplified to a description in terms of sinusoidal plane waves, which are characterized by these generic properties: Frequency, or its inverse, wavelength; Amplitude, sound pressure or Intensity; Speed of sound; Direction; Sound that is perceptible by humans has frequencies from about 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz.
