Cos’è il suono?
Correct Answer
D. Propagazione in un mezzo elastico di onde prodotte da una sorgente messa in vibrazione
Explanation
The correct answer states that sound is the propagation of waves in an elastic medium caused by a vibrating source. This explanation accurately describes the concept of sound, highlighting that it involves the movement of waves through a medium and is generated by a vibrating object.
2.
La propagazione del suono avviene attraverso il movimento:
Correct Answer
B. Di compressione e rarefazione delle molecole del mezzo elastico
Explanation
The correct answer is "di compressione e rarefazione delle molecole del mezzo elastico" which means "through the compression and rarefaction of the molecules of the elastic medium". This explanation suggests that sound propagation occurs by the alternating compression and rarefaction of the molecules in the medium through which it travels.

La frequenza di una sinusoide dipende
Correct Answer
C. Dal numero di cicli in un secondo
Explanation
The frequency of a sinusoid depends on the number of cycles in one second. This means that the more cycles the sinusoid completes in one second, the higher its frequency will be. The amplitude, wavelength, and period of the sinusoid do not directly affect its frequency.
4.
Il movimento di un'onda sonora è indicato graficamente da una:
Correct Answer
A. Sinusoide
Explanation
The correct answer is sinusoide. A sinusoide is a graphical representation of a sound wave, where the displacement of particles in the medium varies sinusoidally with time. It is characterized by its amplitude, frequency, and wavelength. The other options, co-sinusoide, onda circolare, and tangente, do not accurately represent the graphical representation of a sound wave.
5.
L’unità di misura della frequenza è
Correct Answer
D. Hz
Explanation
The correct answer is Hz because Hz is the unit of measurement for frequency. Frequency refers to the number of cycles or oscillations of a wave that occur in one second. It is commonly used to measure the frequency of sound waves, radio waves, and electrical signals. dB is the unit of measurement for sound intensity, Watt is the unit of measurement for power, and Ampere is the unit of measurement for electric current.
6.
L’altezza del suono dipende:
Correct Answer
C. Numero di cicli al secondo
Explanation
The correct answer is "numero di cicli al secondo" which translates to "number of cycles per second" in English. This is because the pitch or frequency of a sound is determined by the number of cycles or vibrations that occur in a second. The more cycles there are per second, the higher the pitch of the sound. Therefore, the number of cycles per second is directly related to the height or pitch of the sound.
7.
L’ampiezza di una sinusoide si misura in
Correct Answer
D. DB
Explanation
The correct answer is dB. The amplitude of a sinusoid is a measure of its peak value or maximum displacement from the equilibrium position. dB (decibel) is a unit used to measure the intensity or power level of a sound or signal relative to a reference level. In the context of a sinusoid, dB can be used to quantify the magnitude or strength of the signal. Ampere measures electric current, Watt measures power, and Hz measures frequency, but none of these units directly measure the amplitude of a sinusoid.
8.
L'Ampiezza della sinusoide indica
Correct Answer
C. L'intensità
Explanation
The correct answer is "l'intensità". In Italian, "l'intensità" translates to "the intensity". In the context of a sinusoid, the amplitude refers to the maximum displacement of the waveform from its equilibrium position. This maximum displacement is directly related to the intensity of the sinusoid. Therefore, the correct answer is "l'intensità".
9.
L’ampiezza di una sinusoide si misura in
Correct Answer
B. DB
Explanation
The correct answer is dB. The amplitude of a sinusoid is measured in decibels (dB). Decibels are a unit used to measure the intensity or power of a sound wave. In the context of a sinusoidal wave, the dB measurement indicates the level or strength of the wave's amplitude.
10.
Quanti tipi di rumori abbiamo conosciuto con il programma Audacity?
Correct Answer
B. Tre
Explanation
The correct answer is "tre" because the question asks how many types of noises we have learned with the Audacity program. Since "tre" means three in Italian, it implies that the program teaches us about three different types of noises.
11.
Gli ultrasuoni hanno una frequenza:
Correct Answer
A. Oltre i 20000Hz
Explanation
Gli ultrasuoni sono onde sonore con una frequenza superiore a quella udibile dall'orecchio umano, che è di circa 20.000 Hz. Pertanto, la risposta corretta è "oltre i 20000Hz".
12.
Gli infrasuoni hanno una frequenza
Correct Answer
A. Sotto i 20 Hz
Explanation
The correct answer is "sotto i 20 Hz." Infrasound refers to sound waves with a frequency below the range of human hearing, which is typically considered to be below 20 Hz. Therefore, the answer "sotto i 20 Hz" accurately describes the frequency range of infrasound.
13.
La forma d'onda visualizzata nel programma di editing audio - Audacity - indica:
Correct Answer
C. L’ampiezza e la durata del suono
Explanation
The waveform displayed in the audio editing program Audacity indicates both the amplitude and duration of the sound. The amplitude refers to the intensity or loudness of the sound, while the duration represents the length of time the sound lasts. By looking at the waveform, one can determine the variations in amplitude and the overall duration of the sound.
14.
La dissolvenza in entrata è:
Correct Answer
D. Aumento graduale in ampiezza della traccia audio
Explanation
The correct answer is "aumento graduale in ampiezza della traccia audio" which translates to "gradual increase in the amplitude of the audio track". This means that the audio track starts off softly and gradually gets louder.
15.
Uno slittamento di frequenza è un evento sonoro:
Correct Answer
C. Che gradatamente sale in altezza
Explanation
Uno slittamento di frequenza è un evento sonoro che gradatamente sale in altezza. Questo significa che la frequenza del suono aumenta progressivamente nel corso dell'evento. Non viene menzionata l'ampiezza del suono, quindi non possiamo assumere che sia costante o che aumenti gradualmente. L'importante è notare che l'evento implica un cambiamento graduale nella frequenza del suono.
16.
L’altezza di un suono è indicata con seguenti termini
Correct Answer
D. Grave/acuto
Explanation
The correct answer is "grave/acuto" because these terms refer to the pitch or frequency of a sound. "Grave" is used to describe a low-pitched sound, while "acuto" is used to describe a high-pitched sound. This terminology is commonly used in music and sound studies to describe the height or depth of a sound.
17.
L’ampiezza (intensità) di un suono è indicata con:
Correct Answer
A. Forte/piano
Explanation
The correct answer for indicating the loudness (intensity) of a sound is "forte/piano". In music, "forte" means loud and "piano" means soft. These terms are used to describe the dynamic level or volume of a sound. When a sound is played forcefully or with a lot of energy, it is considered "forte". On the other hand, when a sound is played softly or with less energy, it is considered "piano". Therefore, "forte/piano" is the correct answer for indicating the amplitude (intensity) of a sound.
