  2. Rijke tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rijke_tube

    The sound comes from a standing wave whose wavelength is about twice the length of the tube, giving the fundamental frequency. Lord Rayleigh, in his book, gave the correct explanation of how the sound is stimulated. [7] The flow of air past the gauze is a combination of two motions.

  3. Temporal envelope and fine structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporal_envelope_and_fine...

    Although pitch retrieval mechanisms in the auditory system are still a matter of debate, [76] [115] TFS n information may be used to retrieve the pitch of low-frequency pure tones [75] and estimate the individual frequencies of the low-numbered (ca. 1st-8th) harmonics of a complex sound, [116] frequencies from which the fundamental frequency of ...

  4. Envelope (music) - Wikipedia

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

    The General Instrument AY-3-8910 sound chip includes only a hold time parameter; the sustain level is not programmable. Another common variation in the same vein is the AHDSR (attack, hold, decay, sustain, release) envelope, in which the hold parameter controls how long the envelope stays at full volume before entering the decay phase.

  5. List of musical symbols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_musical_symbols

    Musical symbols are marks and symbols in musical notation that indicate various aspects of how a piece of music is to be performed. There are symbols to communicate information about many musical elements, including pitch, duration, dynamics, or articulation of musical notes; tempo, metre, form (e.g., whether sections are repeated), and details about specific playing techniques (e.g., which ...

  6. Sound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound

    In physics, sound is a vibration that propagates as an acoustic wave through a transmission medium such as a gas, liquid or solid. In human physiology and psychology, sound is the reception of such waves and their perception by the brain. [1]

  7. Acoustics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustics

    Acoustics is defined by ANSI/ASA S1.1-2013 as "(a) Science of sound, including its production, transmission, and effects, including biological and psychological effects. (b) Those qualities of a room that, together, determine its character with respect to auditory effects."

  8. Sound energy - Wikipedia

    However, this range is an average and will slightly change from individual to individual. Sound waves that have frequencies below 16 Hz are called infrasonic and those above 20 kHz are called ultrasonic. Sound is a mechanical wave and as such consists physically in oscillatory elastic compression and in oscillatory displacement of a fluid.

  9. Rubens tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubens_tube

    Students make models of Rubens tube at their school science exhibition. This display is also found in physics departments at a number of universities. [ 5 ] A number of physics shows also have one, such as: Rino Foundation [ 6 ] (The Netherlands), Fysikshow Aarhus (Denmark), Fizika Ekspres (Croatia) and ÅA Physics show (Finland).
