Accordingly, we may expect to find that not one single waveform, but many such forms, correspond to a sound of given quality and pitch. 114 QVALITr AND MODE QF. VIBRATION. VARIETY OF RESULTANT WAVE-FORMS. 115 In Figs. 48, 49, 50, the associated wave-form corre- sponding to our clang of two partial-tones [page 110] is constructed for three degrees of pliase-difference. The simple constituent waves are shown in thin, the result of their composition in full lines. In each case two complete wave-le...ngths of the latter are exhibited. Figs. 51 and 52 present two wave-forms drawn in the same way, for a clang of constant pitch and quality con- t lining the partial-tones 1, 2, and 3. Fia. 51. Fio. 82. The dissimilarity of form, and therefore of corre- sponding particle-vibration, is, in both sets of figures, most marked. 73. It has been shown that, by mere alteration of phase, a very great variety of resultant wave-forms can il6 QUALITY AND MODE OF VIBRATION. be obtained from two sets of simple waves of given lengths and amplitudes, ^ach one of these forms will give rise to a cycle of others, if we allow the relative am- plitudes of the constituent systems to be changed, while keeping the difference of phase constant.
