200 - 200 000 Hz

0 - 20 Hz



B-005-07-03: Why do we call signals in the range 20 Hz to 20 000 Hz audio frequencies?

Because the human ear can sense sounds in this range

Because the human ear cannot sense anything in this range

Because this range is too low for radio energy

Because the human ear can sense radio waves in this range

Wavelength

Wave speed

Waveform

Wave spread



B-005-07-06: What happens to a signal's wavelength as its frequency increases?

It gets shorter

It gets longer

It stays the same

It disappears



B-005-07-07: What happens to a signal's frequency as its wavelength gets longer?

It goes down

It disappears

It stays the same

It goes up



B-005-07-08: What does 60 hertz (Hz) mean?

60 cycles per second

6000 metres per second

60 metres per second

6000 cycles per second



B-005-07-09: If the frequency of the waveform is 100 Hz, the time for one cycle is:

0.01 second

10 seconds

0.0001 second

1 second



B-005-07-10: Current in an AC circuit goes through a complete cycle in 0.1 second. This means the AC has a frequency of:

10 Hz

1 Hz

100 Hz

1000 Hz



B-005-07-11: A signal is composed of a fundamental frequency of 2 kHz and another of 4 kHz. This 4 kHz signal is referred to as:

a harmonic of the 2 kHz signal

a fundamental of the 2 kHz signal

the DC component of the main signal

a dielectric signal of the main signal
