The assumption
Explanation of Solution
The small angle approximation in trigonometry is used in physical problems, when the angles under consideration are very small. If the angles are considerably large, these approximations cannot be applied.
In the given problem, the angle of diffraction corresponding to the first order diffraction is given by equation (II).
Conclusion:
Substitute
For an angle
Therefore, the assumption

- A spectra is a graph that has amplitude on the Y-axis and frequency on the X-axis. A harmonic spectra simply draws a vertical line at each frequency that a harmonic would be produced. The height of the line indicates the amplitude at which that harmonic would be produced. If the Fo of a sound is 125 Hz, please sketch a spectra (amplitude on the Y axis, frequency on the X axis) of the harmonic series up to the 4th harmonic. Include actual values on Y and X axis.arrow_forwardSketch a sign wave depicting 3 seconds of wave activity for a 5 Hz tone.arrow_forwardSketch a sine wave depicting 3 seconds of wave activity for a 5 Hz tone.arrow_forward
