AA1 - Week 1 : Facilities Introduction

This lesson was actually one of the only lessons during my first week of Uni where we actually did work. We started by going through the course outline, something by which i was very familiar with by this stage. We then dived straight into our first week's contents.
We talked about the very basics very basics of sound thoery: "What is sound?", taking it right down to the definition of "The organised movement of molecules (e.g. air) through a medium (e.g. acoustic guitar)."
We then went on to talk about the cause and effect of sound, both physically and psyco-physically, discussing the phrase " If a tree was to fall down in a forest, but you weren't there to hear it, would it make a noice?". When we discussed the physical/real world causes and effects, the answer turned out to be 'yes', but when we dscussed the psycho-physical causes and effects, the answer was 'no'.

Lastly, we talked about the characteristics of sound, which include amplitude abd frequency.Sound is made by compression and rarefraction, over the period of time repeating over and over again.
