Does a High pitched sound has a high number of partial tones?
Not neccessarily, pitch depends on the fundamental frequency. The number of partial tones is independent from fundamental frequency, and, roughly speaking, determines the timbre of the sound (through variables like spectral balance, for example).
What term refers to the number of waves passing a specific point in a given amount of time?
The number of waves that pass a fixed point in a fixed amount of time is known as the "frequency".=====is called the Frequency of the waves (located on page 10 of the Penn Foster - Sound Study Guide)=====The number of waves that pass a given point per second is measured in units of Hertz (Hz). Hertz is a unit for cycles per second.The number of cycles that a wave completes in 'S' seconds is 'S' times its 'frequency'.
The number of complete waves that pass a point in a certain amount of time is a wave's?
This is known as the frequency of the wave.
Number of waves passing in a second?
That is called the frequency of the wave.That is called the frequency of the wave.That is called the frequency of the wave.That is called the frequency of the wave.
Is frequency proportional to distance?
Frequency is proportional to time, the number of cycles at a certain frequency is proportional to its length(distance).
An overtone that's a whole number multiple of the fundamental frequency of a sting is called a?
hamonic
How are overtones created?
An overtone is a natural resonance or vibration frequency of a system. Systems described by overtones are often sound systems, for example, blown pipes or plucked strings. If such a system is excited, a number of sound frequencies may be produced, including a fundamental tone of given frequency. An integer multiple of the fundamental frequency is called a harmonic. The second overtone is not the second harmonic. (See related link "Calculations of Harmonics and Overtones from Fundamental Frequency")
What is the whole number multiple of the fundamental frequency of a string?
A harmonic.
What is the fundamental ripple frequency if the pulse number the ratio of the fundamental frequency and the a.c. supply frequency?
Pitch Pitch
What is produced when overtones have frequencies that are whole number multiples of the fundamental?
That are harmonics: fundamental + overtones. Calculations of harmonics from fundamental frequency. Look down to the related links: "Harmonics Calculator".
Does a High pitched sound has a high number of partial tones?

Why sqare waves are called analog waves?
A square wave is a sum of an infinite number of sine waves (analogue). These sine waves consist of one wave called a FUNDAMENTAL, and all of the other waves are called HARMONICS. The fundamental is the same amplitude and frequency as the square wave. The harmonics are all odd, i.e. mathematically, the first harmonic (which is called the 3rd harmonic) is 1/3 the amplitude and 3 times the frequency of the fundamental. The next harmonic (called the 5th harmonic) is 1/5 the amplitude and 5 times the frequency of the fundamental. And so it goes with the next harmonic (the 7th), followed by the 9th and so on ad infinitum.
What is a radar PRF?
Radar Pulse Repetition Frequency - The number of pulses the radar system sends out to the target. A pulse can contain multiple frequencies.
What are the 3 principle characteristics of musical tones?
-- Amplitude (loudness) -- Frequency of fundamental / (mathematically tied to wavelength) -- Timbre/distortion (number and amplitudes of harmonic components) How about -- Attack ? -- Decay ? -- Vibrato ?
What are the four fundamental numbers?
"It's Fundamental Operations and not fundamental numbers.The four fundamental operations in Mathematics are addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division."If i would have to name four fundamental numbers of mathematics I would say:1. number: 0 (zero)2. number: 1 (one)3. number: Pi4. number: Euler's number
What is the fundamental of real number system?
The fundamental property of the real number system is the concept of a successor to a whole number (Peano).
