Answer 1

True

Question 2

Hearing and listening are interchangeable terms.

Answer 2

False

Question 3

Dialogue is typically panned to the onscreen position of a character.

Answer 3

True

Question 4

Sounds are typically processed with reverb to imply the space that the action is occurring in.

Question 5

Frequency is expressed in units called Hertz.

Question 6

Frequency response refers to the range of frequencies that a playback device such as a television can reproduce.

Question 7

Which device has the greatest frequency response?

A) Cell phone
B) Movie theater speakers
C) Television
D) Computer speakers
E) All of these devices have the same frequency response.

Question 8

Which device can produce the widest dynamic range?

A) Cell phone
B) Movie theater speakers
C) Television
D) Computer speakers
E) All of these devices have the same frequency response.

Question 9

The speed of light is faster than the speed of sound yet in film we typically hear an object or action at roughly the same moment we see it.

Question 10

Low frequencies are non-directional due to their extended wave-lengths.

Question 11

Sample rates reflect the dynamic range of audio while bit depths describe the potential frequency response.

Question 12

Audio codecs like AAC, mp3, and Dolby have less audio resolution than non-compressed PCM.

Question 13

At least 40,000 samples are required to accurately represent the frequency of a 20 kHz signal.
