Fourier Waves

  • Explain qualitatively how sines and cosines add up to produce arbitrary periodic functions.
  • Recognize that each Fourier component corresponds to a sinusoidal wave with a different wavelength or period.
  • Mentally map simple functions between Fourier space and real space.
  • Describe sounds in terms of sinusoidal waves.
  • Describe the difference between waves in space and waves in time.
