Week 1:  28/09/2012

• Attended audio lecture
  
• Learned about sound and its behaviour
  
• Opened the PowerPoint file for week 1's lecture and viewed it more thoroughly
  
• Took the points from the above mentioned PowerPoint and put into my own set of summary notes
  
• Looked at BBC Bitesize website mentioned on Moodle:  
• Information already known from Higher Physics gained in school
• Looked at the Waves PDF document
  
• Again, most knowledge was known already due to Higher Physics gained in school, but also some from Mathematics with the degrees to radians conversion
• Most of the knowledge refreshed my memory however, as I am still rusty with the information:  I passed my Higher in Physics in 2009
  
• Have not yet visited the Acoustic Anechoic Chamber:  
• Think the visit is next week.  Not sure.  Maybe after that.  Have been told we shall visit it at some point.
  
• There were also new things I learned today by looking through the PowerPoint and listening to the lecture.  These things were:  
• Echo's and reverberation  
• This was also due to me playing keyboard that I know something about these qualities already  
• Spectrogram  
• A more in-depth knowledge of The Inverse-Square Law  
• The level of various sounds
  
• I shall continue to look at the PowerPoint more thoroughly throughout the week before week 2 commences for this module
