Waveform (Wave Shape) Is it voice or musical instrument?
Sound of Musical Instruments Waveform superposition of harmonics amplitude (A) and period (T) quality of sound indiscernible Fourier spectrum Fourier components (harmonics) amplitude (A) and frequency ( f ) unique to each instrument
Fourier Theorem “Any periodic function of period T can be expressed as a sum of sine curves whose frequencies are multiples of f = 1/T and whose amplitude and phase are suitably chosen.” (textbook)
