Now add a resonator to the larynx, and the tone of the vocal ligaments will be intensified, and its quality altered according to the kind of resonator you make use of.
It is clear, therefore, that the human voice does not only depend upon the vibrations of the vocal ligaments, and the corresponding vibrations of the air passing between them, but also upon the resonator as defined on p.
Deep down she was a wee bit worried that he might linger to attach a micro-resonator to this building and she wanted to time him.
No question the micro-resonator is the neatest sweetest wrecking device going.
The grating quality of the sound appears to be due to the little tongues which press on the nervures of the vibrating cymbals; the cause of its intensity is of course the ample resonator in the abdomen.
We know that a Hertz resonator sends into the ether Hertzian waves that are identical with luminous waves; an incandescent body must then be regarded as containing a very great number of tiny resonators.
The resonator is an irregular-shaped tube with a bend in the middle; the vertical portion is formed by the larynx and pharynx, the horizontal by the mouth.
The converse of this may be said of Italian, in which most words end in pure vowels which keep the resonator open.
Increased loudness of the voice will not improve its carrying power if the resonator is improperly used; it will often lead to a rise of pitch and the production of a harsh, shrill tone associated with a sense of strain and effort.
The vocal cords may be as long in the tenor as in the bass; this shows what an important part the resonator plays in the timbre or quality of the voice.
Carrying power, as we shall see later, depends as much upon the proper use of the resonator as upon the force of expulsion of the air by the bellows.
Diagram showing the position of the larynx in respect to the resonator and tongue.
The pressure of air above the balls in the resonator E, then rises until it equals or nearly equals the pressure of air in chamber B.
A series of regular puffs of wind will thus be delivered into the lower part of the resonator or pipe, resulting in a musical note.
By this time the compression at the foot of resonator R will have traveled up the pipe in the form of a sound wave, and will have been followed by the complementary rarefaction.
Diaphone in which the tone is produced through the medium of a number of metal balls, covering a series of holes or openings into the bottom of a resonator or pipe, and admitting intermittent puffs of air.
This is owing to the fact that the column of air in the pipe or resonator E possesses weight and inertia, and being elastic, is momentarily compressed at its lower end.
As the pressure of air inside the motor M will now escape into the pipe or resonator P|1|, the motor will collapse and the pallet P will be opened in spite of the action of the spring S which tends to keep it closed.
As the aluminum piston P is very light and is in no way impeded in its movement or swing, the speed of its vibration, and consequently the pitch of the note emitted, will be governed by the length of the resonator or pipe R.
The pressure of the compressed air at the foot of the resonator E will now by acting on the upper surface of the division D depress the aluminum piston until the engine supply port S is again opened.
It will thus be obvious that the Diaphone will always be in perfect tune with the resonator or pipe P|1|, and that the pitch of the note may be altered by varying the length of the pipe.
MOUTH, theory of its function, 1; a resonator for the voice, 6.
Under these circumstances the sound coming from the resonator is found to be many times more powerful than that coming direct from the tuning fork.
If left to its own judgment the ear takes the resonator to be the original source of the sound.
This is well illustrated by a simple experiment with a tuning fork and a spherical resonator reinforcing the tone of the fork.
It is no better adapted for air resonance than an ordinary spherical resonator would be, if filled with wet sponges.
The Ratanpurias have an instrument called dhungru, which consists of a piece of bamboo about three feet long with a hollow gourd as a resonator and catgut strings.
That of the Raipurias is a sort of rude fiddle called sarangi, which has a cocoanut shell as a resonator with horsehair strings, and is played with a bow.
In the latter the resonator is held uppermost and rests against the shoulder of the player, while in the former it is at the lower end and is placed against his waist.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "resonator" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
