1. Introduction: How to use Audacity to generate and analyze a signal.
“Dissecting a Waveform With Audacity” Summary: Students will use Audacity to analyze simple and complex sinusoidal waveforms in order to better understand the mathematical functions behind them.
Introduction: How to use Audacity to generate and analyze a signal.
Part 1: Analyzing single frequency tones.
Part 2: Analyzing combination frequency tones.
Part 3: Generating your own tones and waveforms.
Things to Consider:
Can you generate a function that represents a single frequency tone from the information provided by Audacity?
Can you generate a function that represents a combination frequency tone from the information provided by Audacity?
How accurate is Audacity in determining the peak frequency of a tone?
What are “beats”?
