MCQ
When we hear a sound, we can identify its source from
  • A
    Amplitude of sound
  • B
    Intensity of sound
  • C
    Wavelength 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.
