In a dark room would you be able to tell whether a given note had been produced by a piano or a violin ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Yes, in a dark room we can easily identify a sound produced by a Piano or a Violin by using the knowledge of timber or quality of sound. The two sources even though having the same intensity and fundamental frequency will be associated with different number of overtones of different relative intensities. These overtones combine and produce different sounds which enables us to identify them.
