Chapter 10.3, Problem 14R

To determine

To Compare: Music and noise.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

Music and noise are both combinations of sound waves having different frequencies. The frequency components of music are discrete and rational. The frequency components of noise are continuous and random.

Although music and noise are mixtures of sound waves at different frequencies, music is considered to be an ordered sound, while noise is a disordered sound. The distinction between music and noise is mathematical form. The mixture of sound that produce music can be separated into individual frequencies and some are dominant over others. On the other hand, noise contains of all frequencies of sound with no dominant frequency.
