Question
Please explain the answer and reasoning for the following question on superposition of waves and sound. Thank you!
A synthesizer is a keyboard instrument that can be made to sound like a flute, a trumpet, a piano - or any other musical instrument. Pressing a key sets the fundamental frequency of the note that is produced. Other settings that the player can adjust change the sound quality of the synthesizer without altering the fundamental frequency.
Part A
How is this change accomplished? What is being adjusted?
None of the above.
A) The settings on the synthesizer change the amount and proportion of wavelengths that are mixed in the fundamental frequency. B) The settings on the synthesizer change the volume that is added to the fundamental frequency. C) The settings on the synthesizer change the amount and proportion of higher harmonics that are mixed in the fundamental frequency. D)None of the above.
Explanation / Answer
The settings on the synthesizer change the volume that is added to the fundamental frequency.
CORRECT: C) The settings on the synthesizer change the amount and proportion of higher harmonics that are mixed in the fundamental frequency.
The settings on the synthesizer change the volume that is added to the fundamental frequency.
CORRECT: C) The settings on the synthesizer change the amount and proportion of higher harmonics that are mixed in the fundamental frequency.
The settings on the synthesizer change the amount and proportion of wavelengths that are mixed in the fundamental frequency. None of the above.
