Question

Choose the correct option:

$\begin{array}{cccc}1.& \text{Tone}& i.& \text{frequencies that are integral multiple of fundamental frequency.}\\ 2.& \text{Note}& ii.& \text{sound of single frequency.}\\ 3.& \text{Overtone}& iii.& \text{sound of multiple frequencies.}\\ 4.& \text{Harmonic}& iv.& \text{higher frequencies other than fundamental frequency.}\end{array}$

• A. 1 - ii, 2 - iii, 3 - iv, 4 - i.
• B. 1 - iii, 2 - ii, 3 - iv, 4 - i
• C. 1 - ii, 2 - iii, 3 - i, 4 - iv
• D. 1 - ii, 2 - iv, 3 - iii, 4 - i

Answer 1

The correct option is A

1 - ii, 2 - iii, 3 - iv, 4 - i.

Sound of single frequency is known as tone.
Sound of multiple frequencies is known as note.
Tones of higher frequencies other than fundamental frequency are known as overtones.
The frequencies that are integral multiple of fundamental frequency are called as harmonics.
