Speech Science Exam 2 Jeopardy
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Average rate of vibration of the vocal folds during voiced sounds when sustaining a vowel, reading aloud, or speaking conversationally. | Average fundamental frequency |
| This is the complete range of frequencies than an individual can generate, from falsetto to the lowest tone. | Maximum phonational frequency range |
| This is the difference between the highest and lowest frequency in a particular speech sample. | frequency range |
| This is the amount of variability in the rate of vocal fold vibration, measured in semitones. | pitch sigma |
| This is a perceptual unit, referring to double the frequency (or half, if lowering the frequency | octave |
| This is the standard deviation of the overall amplitude levels during speech tasks (reading, conversation, or sustaining a vowel). | amplitude variability |
| This is the overall level of amplitude during a speech task like reading, conversation, or sustaining a vowel. | average amplitude level |
| This is the physiological range of vocal amplitudes a speaker can generate, from the softest phonation (without whispering) to the loudest shout. | dynamic range |
| This is related to the amount of subglottal pressure generated by either increasing or decreasing medial compression during vocal fold vibration. | amplitude |
| This plots the maximum phonational frequency range against a person's dynamic range. | voice range profile |
| This is the tendency of a system to oscillate (vibrate) at maximum amplitude at certain frequencies. | resonance |
| This is a pattern in which areas of positive and negative pressures occur at the same time and location, which gives the appearance of being stationary instead of moving. | standing wave |
| This blocks the high frequency components of a wave and allows the low frequency components through. | low-pass filter |
| This is a graph of the natural resonant frequencies of an object that can resonate. | frequency response curve |
| This type of resonator resonates to a small range of frequencies. | narrow or undamped resonator. |
| A standing wave in this kind of resonator will have a node at one end and an antinode at the other. | a quarter-wave resonator? (Can also say a tube with 1 closed end and 1 open end.) |
| A standing wave in this kind of resonator will have antinodes at each end. | a half-wave resonator? (Can also say a tube with two open ends.) |
| This is frequency that produces a standing wave with 6 antinodes and 7 nodes in a tube with 2 closed ends. | What is the 6th harmonic? |
| This is frequency that produces a standing wave with 6 antinodes and 5 nodes in a tube with 2 open ends. | What is the 5th harmonic? |
| This is frequency that produces a standing wave with 4 antinodes and 4 nodes in a tube with 1 closed end and 1 open end. | What is the 7th harmonic? |
| This is the frequency that is allowed to pass with the greatest amplitude in an acoustic filter. | center frequency |
| This is an area with no particle movement in a standing wave. | What is a node? |
| The distance traveled during one cycle. | What is wavelength? |
| The time it takes for one cycle to complete. | period |
| This is the delimiting frequency in an acoustic filter? | frequency cutoff |
