Research Question: How can different methods of listening to music have an effect on the transmission of musical sinusoidal waves? Introduction: Music is a universal language. It is a part of culture that has been around for thousands of years, dating back to the first recorded German flutist 40,000 years ago during the Stone Age. Lyrics and sounds can be understood and interpreted independently, but it is how humans are able to take in these sounds and interpret them that is often misunderstood. The biological and psychological aspects of this process play an imperative role, including the idea that our hearing systems are based solely on the cerebellum and physical movement, rather than chemical reactions which usually evoke our†¦show more content†¦Such efficiency will be determined by measuring the frequencies of songs using sine waves, the volume at which a genre of music should be played can be understood. Efficiency is fully dependent on atmospheric conditions, such as pressure. Using the sine function will help to analyze the frequency in relation to the period, amplitude, and any possible shifts that may ha ve an influence on the production and receiving of music. First, I will be using an EQu device to measure frequency (dB). This is considered the â€Å"original source.† Measurements of the frequencies are represented as sine waves, beginning at the 0 (indicated by the green line): By doing so, the frequency, amplitude, and pitch can be analyzed. The frequency measures how fast something vibrates, the amplitude measures how much something vibrates, and the pitch shows how high or low the music can be perceived.
