Low frequencies are highly attenuated because they have longer wavelengths that interact with obstacles and are scattered, absorbed, or diffracted more easily than higher frequencies. This results in a greater loss of energy as the low-frequency sound wave travels through a medium.

What happen if you connect capacitor and resistor in parallel in low pass filter?

Only frequencies in the pass band range will be allowed through the circuit. Other frequencies will be attenuated based on the RC values picked.


Can you connect a bass guitar and a keyboard to a bass amp?

The short answer is Yes. However, a BASS amp i s intended to amplify low frequencies and all of the tone controls are designed to enhance these frequencies. The speakers are usually designed for the lower frequencies as well, so you will find that the keyboard will not sound as detailed as it might if used with an amplifier designed for guitar or keyboards, as the upper frequencies of the keyboard through a bass amp will be attenuated.


What is a low pass filter?

A low pass filter allows "low" frequencies to pass through a circuit and blocks higher frequencies.


Why low frequencies are not used for data transmission in computer networks?

Low frequencies are avoided for data transmission in computer networks to prevent data loss due to attenuation of the signal. Also, low frequencies are incapable of transferring data at the speeds of higher frequencies.


What is absorbed by water in Earth's atmosphere and requires that telescopes forobserving at these wavelengths be placed on mountain tops or in space?

Some frequencies of light are attenuated by water vapor.


Is anti aliasing filter analog or digital?

It must be an analog filter. The high frequencies must be attenuated before any digital sampling takes place, to ensure that these high frequencies are not sampled as false signals. See the related link.


Why do low frequency waves travel longer distances?

High frequencies are more damped by air than low frequencies.


A signal is attenuated in direct proportion to what factor?

Depends on what kind of modulation you're using. If frequencies, then it would be in wavelength or hertz; if amplitude, it would be in power or wattage.


Do long tuning forks have high or low frequencies?

low! :)


Frequencies to low for people to hear are called what?

"Subaudible" frequencies.


Which sounds from the bands will have the lowest frequencies high- pitched or low- pitched?

Low-pitched sounds from the bands will have lower frequencies compared to high-pitched sounds. Low frequencies are associated with deep, bassy tones, while high frequencies are associated with sharper, more piercing tones.


Do hearing looses develop at low frequencies faster or slower then they do at high frequencies?

The high frequencies suffer first, with age.
