He speaks an imitation West Point idiom with the Tippecanoe accent, and his voice rivals in resonance the venturous wild-fowl honking high in air.
He grasped Pierson's hand, and said in a voice to whose natural heavy resonance professional duty had added a certain unction: "My dear Edward, how many years it is since we met!
Pierson had never been a great preacher, his voice lacked resonance and pliancy, his thought breadth and buoyancy, and he was not free from, the sing-song which mars the utterance of many who have to speak professionally.
And I sacrifice, a Levite; and I palpitate, a poet; Can I close dead ears against the rush and resonance of things?
We send our resonance echoing down the adamantine canyons of the future!
The air was heavy with the resonance of marching feet, ghostly feet marching and marching down upon him in slow, inexorable crescendo as the tides ebbed later among the sedges on the marsh and the moon grew big.
It was then Abrahm Kantor came down with a large hollow resonance of palm against the aperture, lifting his small son and depositing him plop upon the family album.
Describe the resonance method of obtaining the frequency.
How does the resonance type of synchronism indicator operate?
For what use is the resonance type of frequency meter most desirable?
On the same principle as the resonance type of frequency indicator, already described.
The girl listened awhile to the departing hoof-strokes, as they came back with clear resonance from the hard causeway.
Electric resonance and electric tuning are very like those of acoustic resonance and acoustic tuning which I have just described.
Simple acoustic resonance is the direct reinforcement of a simple vibration and this condition is had when a tuning fork is mounted on a sounding box.
In simple electric resonance an oscillating current of a given frequency flowing in a circuit having the proper inductance and capacitance may increase the voltage until it is several times greater than its normal value.
Just as acousticresonance may be simple or sympathetic so electric resonance may be simple or sympathetic.
A resonance curve that has two peaks or humps which show that the oscillating currents which are set up when the primary and secondary of a tuning coil are closely coupled have two frequencies.
Simple resonance of sound is its increase set up by one body by the sympathetic vibration of a second body.
When the prongs vibrate the handle vibrates up and down in unison with it, and imparts its motion to the sounding box, or resonance case as it is sometimes called, where one is used.
It comes only from an unyielding retention of the same resonating point for several tones and a failure to bring in the resonance of the head cavities.
Red lines denote division of the breath in the resonance of the head cavity, high range.
In this way, under control, in the passage formed for it above the tongue by that organ, it reaches the resonance chambers prepared for it by the raising and lowering of the soft palate, and those in the cavities of the head.
Illustration: Resonanceof the cavity of the forehead.
When this happens, the resonance of the head cavities is diminished, that of the palate increased; for the soft palate sinks, and the pillars of the fauces are raised more and more.
The resonance against the occipital walls of the head cavities when the head tones are employed, at first causes a very marked irritation of the nerves of the head and ear.
In proportion as the pillars are extended, the breath spreads over the entire palate, instead of being concentrated on only one point of it, and bringing at the same time the resonance of the head cavities into play.
Most people who are not accustomed to using their vocal resonance pronounce the ah quite flat, as if it were the vowel-sound lying lowest.
As in his opening speech of this scene we heard all the clangour and resonance of warring wind and sea, so now we hear a sound of sacred and spiritual music as solemn as the central monochord of the inner main itself.
Besides the quivering leaf, the swinging grass, the fluttering bird's wing, and the thousand oval membranes which innumerable insects whirl about, a faint resonance seems to come from the very earth itself.
Under the trees in the woodlands it vibrates and lives; on the hills there is a resonance of light.
How can resonance and carrying power be developed?
To develop nasal resonance sing the following, dwelling as long as possible on the ng sounds.
The children at play on the street, glad from sheer physical vitality, display a resonance and charm in their voices quite different from the voices that float through the silent halls of the hospitals.
Not only will deep breathing--breathing from the diaphragm--give the voice a better support, but it will give it a stronger resonance by improving the general health.
Underneath the stage, unseen by the audience, are a number of large clay pots, a traditional acoustic device to amplify the resonance of the actors' voices.
Ideally, the two meanings support each other, producing a resonance said to be truly remarkable.
The resonanceof the mouth cavity is also of great importance.
Turning, Frank moved the resonance coil around, and the next instant the sharp "dee-dah" of a dot and dash signal buzzed clearly from the receiver.
Tom clamped the phones to his ears, Frank turned the resonance coil about and as it pointed towards the south, Tom fairly leaped from his seat.
Breath-sounds are diminished in the area of dullness, and vocal resonance and fremitus are impaired.
Complete obstruction of a bronchus followed by drowned lung adds absence of vocal resonance and vocal fremitus, thus often leading to an erroneous diagnosis of empyema.
Vocal resonanceand fremitus are but little altered.
Large voices, that is, voices that proceed from large resonance cavities, are often badly strained at this period of life by too loud and too high singing.
Also the resonance cavities above should be open, that the vibrations generated at the vocal bands may find expansion and resonance.
It is not contended that these diagrams picture the actual form assumed by the resonance cavities very accurately.
It may be added that at this period theresonance cavities also undergo considerable alteration in size and form.
The strength and timbre of the male falsetto depends partly upon the character of the vocal bands and partly of course upon the size and shape of the resonance cavities.
At the same time the throat must be open, and the muscles surrounding the resonance cavities relaxed to allow free movement of the sound-waves set up at the vocal bands.
As the parts concerned in tone-formation gain in flexibility, the result appears in the ease with which the alterations in shape of the resonance tube are made at higher pitches.
The voice talking into the small end is directed forwardly, and is reflected from the sides, and its resonance also enables the vibrations to carry farther than without the use of the solid part of the instrument.
When sounds are heard after the originals are emitted they tend to confusion, and the quality of resonance is lost.
Sooner or later these brooks were crossed by cracks; into these cracks the water fell, scooping gradually out for itself a vertical shaft, the resonance of which raised the sound of the falling water to the dignity of thunder.
The Aar for a time babbled in the distance, until, on turning a corner, its voice was suddenly quenched by the louder music of the Urbach, rendered mellow and voluminous by the resonance of the chasm into which the torrent leaped.
The resonance of the water as it fell into shafts struck me suddenly at intervals on turning corners, and seemed, in each case, as if a new torrent had bounded into life.
He enjoined upon himself, therefore, a weekly flight from the too dear soul, with the design that the new resonance of his love might cease its vibrations in his heart, and all become still again within him.
In regard to Leyden jars with which resonance effects are frequently demonstrated, I would say that the effects observed are often attributed but are seldom due to true resonance, for an error is quite easily made in this respect.
The magnitude of the resonance effect depends, under otherwise equal conditions, on the quantity of electricity set in motion or on the strength of the current driven through the circuit.
In a Leyden jar discharging through a short stranded cable of thin wires these requirements are probably best fulfilled, and the resonance effects are therefore very prominent.
It is a fortunate circumstance that pure resonance is not producible, for if it were there is no telling what dangers might not lie in wait for the innocent experimenter.
But to a certain degree resonance is producible, the magnitude of the effects being limited by the imperfect conductivity and imperfect elasticity of the media or, generally stated, by frictional losses.
The question first to answer is, then, whether pure resonance effects are producible.
I think that beyond doubt it is possible to operate electrical devices in a city through the ground or pipe system byresonance from an electrical oscillator located at a central point.
By varying the frequency of the currents and carefully observing the potential of the insulated body and watching for the disturbance at various neighboring points of the earth's surface resonance might be detected.
The electrical resonance is the more perfectly attained, the smaller the resistance or the impedance of the conducting path and the more perfect the dielectric.
The two circuits are then said to be in resonance or to be tuned together.
