24
Q

formant frequencies are equally spaced when the vocal tract is not constricted at all

A

true. schwa. graph looks even so i guess so.

25
higher vowels higher f1
false low vowels have higher f1
26
front vowels have a higher f1
f front vowels have a higher f2
27
front vowels have a higher f2
true
28
is praat a spectragraph
yes
29
is praat a spectogram
false, praat creates spectragrams and spectragraphs?
30
a spectrogram is a set of spectra
trueA??
31
the vertical y-axis of a spectro gram is the amplitude of sound
false its frequency
32
the horizontal x-axis of a spectrogram is time
true
33
both the waveform and the spectrogram are time-domain representations
false sine waves don't change frequency over time.
34
the source of all speech sounds is the vbration of the vocal folds
false theres three not ALL speech sounds
35
nasal stops are transient waves
false periodic complex
36
only vowels can be represented by a spectra
false i think they all can
37
the articulation of a consonant corresponds to its constriction interval on a spectrogram
truenot sure
38
the essential information abbout a consonant appears in its constriction interval
true not sure
39
voiceless consonants have a shorter constriction intervals than tehir voiced counterparts
true
40
stop gaps are always complete silence
false
41
vot means beginning of the release burst
it cna happen before too false
42
a negative vot means a voiceless stop
false negative is short more likely to be indicative of voicing
43
obstruents include stops, fricatives and affricates
t obstruents and stops are affricates are stops and fricatives
44
approximants are sonorant consonants
true?
45
nasals are approximants
false
46
not all sonorant sounds are approximants
t not all are approximants ALL again fuck
47
all sonorant sounds in english are voiced
true
48
the opposite of sonorants are obstruents
true
49
0 dB means silence
false just standard
50
it is possible to have a negative number on the dB scale
t its just the smallest sound difference that you can detect with your humans ears.
51
0 Hz = means silence and no cycles
t
52
perception of frequency ranges more widely than intensity?
dB is condensed over a huger more wider range so false?
53
60 DB is twice as loud as a sound at 50 db
true, multiples of ten
54
60 dB 10 times greater than that of a sound at 50 dB
true multiples of ten idk
55
the octave sccale is relative scale while the hertz scale is an absolute scale
true
56
the octave is a logarithmic scale
true
