Psychological Characteristics of Sound:
Loudness and Pitch of a sound: The amplitude of a sound determines its loudness. More the amplitude of vibration, the louder is the sound produced. It can be easily checked by using a drum. If we strike the drum lightly with its stick, we get only a faint sound. However, if we strike the stick with a force, we get a loud sound.
The frequency of a sound determines its shrillness or flatness. The word pitch is used to describe the shrillness or flatness of a sound. A higher pitch (i.e. a higher frequency) means shriller sound while a lower pitch (i.e. a lower frequency) means a flatter sound. Sound travels in the form of waves. When pebble is dropped in pond water it produces ripples in water. The ripple is called wave.
The distance between normal to peak in called amplitude.
Pitch : Pitch is the sensation (brain, interpretation ) of the frequency of an emitted sound and is the characteristics which distinguishes a shrill ( or sharp) sound from a grave (or flat) sound. Faster the vibration of the source, higher is the frequency and higher is the pitch. Similarly low pitch sounds corresponds to low frequency. A high pitch sound is called a shrill sound (humming of a bee, sound of guitar. A low pitch sound is called a hoarse sound ( roar of a lion, car horn). Ptich of female voice is higher than male.
Loudness : Loudness or a softness of sound wave is the sensation that depends upon its amplitude. The loudness of a sound is a measure of the sound energy reaching ear per second. When we strike a table top with more force, it vibrates and produces loud sound waves which have more amplitude. When struck with smaller force, vibrating table top produces soft sound waves which have less amplitude. A loud sound wave which carries more energy and can be heard at large distance. Reduction in amplitude at large distance, makes the sound soft. In other words loudness is the sensation received by the ear due to intensity. ( i.e. the amount of sound energy ( energy carried by sound wave ) passing per second normally through unit area) of sound.
The loudest natural sounds ever made on our planet earth are probabily gigantic volcanic eruptions, such as the explosions on islands.
Quality (Timber) : Quality or timber of a sound wave is that characteristics which helps us in distinguishing one sound from another having same pitch and loudness. We recognise a person without seeing by listening to his sound as it has a definite quality. A pure sound of single frequency is called a tone. An impure sound produced by mixture of many frequency is called a note. It is pleasnt to listen. Notes of the same pitch played upon different musical instruments are distinguished from each other by their quality. The quality of a note depends on the waveform. The waves produced by different instruments differ in their forms.

Abhyas Methodology is very good. It is based on according to student and each child manages accordingly to its properly. Methodology has improved the abilities of students to shine them in future.
My experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
It was a good experience with Abhyas Academy. I even faced problems in starting but slowly and steadily overcomed. Especially reasoning classes helped me a lot.
Abhyas academy is great place to learn. I have learnt a lot here they have finished my fear of not answering.It has created a habit of self studying in me.The teachers here are very supportive and helpful. Earlier my maths and science was good but now it has been much better than before.

I have spent a wonderful time in Abhyas academy. It has made my reasoning more apt, English more stronger and Maths an interesting subject for me. It has given me a habbit of self studying
When I have not joined Abhyas Academy, my skills of solving maths problems were not clear. But, after joining it, my skills have been developed and my concepts of science and SST are very well. I also came to know about other subjects such as vedic maths and reasoning.
It has a great methodology. Students here can get analysis to their test quickly.We can learn easily through PPTs and the testing methods are good. We know that where we have to practice
The experience was nice. I studied here for three years and saw a tremendous change in myself. I started liking subjects like English and SST which earlier I ran from. Extra knowledge gave me confidence to overcome competitive exams. One of the best institutes for secondary education.
