[Date] POSTPONED [Speaker] Professor Scott Parker Plasma Physics [Title] 
“The Science of Musical Sound” The science of musical sound involves music, psychology and physics. While sound waves are very well explained by physics, they can seem mysterious because we can’t see them. We’ll briefly review what sound waves are. We will explore some interesting questions related to musical sound: What makes a sound musical or not? What are musical notes? Why do two instruments playing the same note sound so different? Finally, we will explore wave resonance pipes and how the human voice works.
