A triangular wave contains, in theory, an infinite number of harmonics, each of which is: - ANSWER-
an odd-numbered multiple of the F0
The decrease in harmonic amplitude with increasing frequency of the harmonic is referred to as
what characteristic of the spectrum? - ANSWER-the roll off
In general, the faster the cutoff of the airflow, corresponding to faster vocal fold closure, the greater
the excitation of the column of air in the - ANSWER-vocal tract
Air particles vibrate most effectively at what part of the tube that is closed at one end and open at
the other? - ANSWER-the open end
Vocal tract formants represent what kind of resonances of the vocal tract? - ANSWER-potential
Relative to voice source characteristics, what is an irregularity of frequency (jitter) or amplitude
(shimmer) called? - ANSWER-perturbation
