WHAKAMĀRAMA

Ko te maha o ngā tōiriiri o tētahi ngaru ka hipa i tētahi pūwāhi i ia hākona. Ko te Hertz (Hz) te waeine mō te auau o tētahi ngaru. Mēnā 1Hz te auau o tētahi ngaru, kotahi te ngaru ka hipa i tētahi pūwāhi i ia hākona. Mēnā he tere te tōiriiri o ngā ngaru oro (arā, he tino auau te ngaru), he teitei te hauoro, he iere. Mēnā he pōturi te tōiriiri (arā, kāore i te tino auau te ngaru), he mārū te hauoro.

The number of waves which pass a point every second. Wave frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz). One Hz represents one wave passing a point every second. If the vibration of sound waves is fast (high frequency), the sound has a high pitch. If the vibration is slower (low frequency), the sound has a low pitch.

Tauira KŌrero

Ka pēhea te āhua o te ngaru mēnā he tino teitei te oro?

Tātaihia te auau o te ngaru oro.

Mēnā kāore i te pērā rawa te auau o te ngaru, kāore e tino teitei te oro.

WhakamĀrama Āpitihanga

Rangona ai e te taringa tangata ngā oro mai i te 20Hz te auau ki te 20,000Hz. Ko ngā oro ka taea e te tangata te whakaputa, mai i te 85 ki te 1,100Hz te auau.

He rerekē te auau o ngā oro ka rangona, ka taea rānei te whakaputa e ētahi atu kīrehe. Hei tauira, rangona ai e te taringa o te kurī ngā oro mai i te 15Hz te auau ki te 50,000Hz. Ko ngā oro ka taea e te kurī te whakaputa, mai i te 450Hz ki te 1,080Hz.
