Please type the whole transcript correctly using comma and periods as needed. I have uploaded the picture of a video on YouTube. Thanks,
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.
Sketch a sign wave depicting 3 seconds of wave activity for a 5 Hz tone.
