MCQ
When we hear a sound, we can identify its source from
- AAmplitude of sound
- BIntensity of sound
- CWavelength of sound
- ✓Overtones present in the sound
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
Overtones present in the sound
d
(d)The sounds of different source are said to differ in quality. The number of overtones and their relative intensities determines the quality of any musical sound.
