It's hard to define a sound, but here's a try: A half-wave rectified sine sounds harsh and whiney. Not as sharp and jagged as a square wave, but not nearly as pure and smooth as a sine. The key is to realize that the half-wave rectified sine is a sine plus a significant load of harmonics, and wherever there is a lot of harmonic energy, we call it "total harmonic distortion". So the bottom line is, anything that isn't a pure sine, you would say it sounds "distorted".

What is the difference between simple and complex waveforms?
simple waveform - something like a sine wave. Very pure sound like you used to get on the tv when that girl was sitting with the toys in the middle of the night. Complex waveform is like speech etc
The sound source of a the synthesizer is an oscillator?
The sound source of the synthesizer is an oscillator. Common waveforms used by synthesizers are sine, square and sawtooth waves.
What things have changed sine the men traveled in the past in a sound of thunder?
They travel back sixty million two thousand and fifty five years
Damnum sine injuria?
What is Damnum sine injuria means in the Law of Torts? Give anexample of it in details.
What is the name of symbol of alternating current?
sine wave symbol
How do you sketch an half wave rectified current with amps and time?
Draw a sine wave, except that when it wants to go negative, keep it at zero instead.
How do you calculate the form factor of a rectified sine wave?
i dont know,,,give me ans
What is the importance of trigonometry in the field of sound?
The compression and rarefaction of the medium in which the sound is propagated can be modelled by a sine curve. You can see a half-wave in the vibration of a string on musical instruments or even a stretched elastic band.
How is trig used in life?
The obvious answer is the relationships between the sides and angles of triangles. Waves in the sea are an example of a sine wave. Tidal Experts and Meterologists alike use sine waves to help predict tides. Music will also emit waves that may often look like a sine wave and pure notes will look like sine or cosine waves. The speed of a swinging pendulum can be plotted as a sine wave as well as the sound of a tuning fork.
Did your sound soother blow out in Europe because there was too much resistance?
Although there is no way of knowing exactly why your sound soother -- whatever THAT is -- blew, it's almost certainly not because of excessive resistance. Chances are that your device was designed for American alternating current, which is nominally 110 volts at 60 Hz. Many countries in Europe use the 220-volt, 50-Hz standard. Either the voltage or the frequency could have been the cause of the problem. If you used a voltage converter -- instead of a transformer -- that may have caused the failure. Converters rectify the 220-volt sine wave, which cuts the peak-to-peak amplitude in half but produces a type of direct current (called a half-wave rectified sine wave). This is an unacceptable form of power for many devices.
Does acoustics use trigonometry?
Yes, because all sound waves can be modelled as sine (or cosine) waves, or combinations of sine waves.
What do sound waves have to do with trigonometry?
Sound waves and other types of waves have sinusoidal graphs. The graph of a sound with a single frequency is a sine wave. More complicated sounds contain multiple frequencies, and their graphs can be obtained by summing up sine waves. Other sorts of waves, not just sound waves, can also be analysed as sums of sine waves. This includes light and changing electrical currents.
Half range sine and cosine series?
half range cosine series or sine series is noting but it consderingonly cosine or sine terms in the genralexpansion of fourierseriesfor examplehalf range cosine seriesf(x)=a1/2+sigma n=0to1 an cosnxwhere an=2/c *integral under limits f(x)cosnxand sine series is vice versa
Where do you use a full wave rectifier?
Right: Example out of a transformer AC to DCAnother Answer:Anywhere there is AC and DC is required. A full wave rectifier is a circuit that produces a DC pulse using both halves of an AC sine wave - full wave rectifier.
An example how trigonometric functions are used to explain a real life occurance?
The obvious answer is the relationships between the sides and angles of triangles. Waves in the sea are an example of a sine wave. Tidal Experts and Meterologists alike use sine waves to help predict tides. Music will also emit waves that may often look like a sine wave and pure notes will look like sine or cosine waves. The speed of a swinging pendulum can be plotted as a sine wave as well as the sound of a tuning fork. Electromagnetic radiation (from a mobile phone, GPS, car radio ect) also moves in sine waves.

In which type of wave are troughs and crests found?
All sine waves both sound and electromagnetic.
