Some taxes are inadvertently hidden, but others are consciously designed that way to disguise the cost of government. Itâs easy to see why: the total U.S. tax burden is equal to 56 percent of annual personal consumption spending.
Thus, the volume is proportional to the amplitude of the sound wave. The frequency of a sound wave is perceived as pitch. Humans can detect pitches within the acoustic range of 20 to 20,000 Hz, but we can't detect ultrasound or infrasound.
Usually frequency is measured in the hertz unit, named in honor of the 19th-century German physicist Heinrich Rudolf Hertz. The hertz measurement, abbreviated Hz, is the number of waves that pass by per second. For example, an A note on a violin string vibrates at about 440 Hz (440 vibrations per second).
