The Science of Sound and Its Application in Theater
1. Definition of Sound
Sound is produced when a body at rest is made to vibrate, causing pressure waves to move in all directions from the source.
2. Wavelength
The distance between successive crests of a wave, especially points in a sound wave or electromagnetic wave.
3. Frequency
The rate at which a sound vibrates measured in cycles per second or hertz (Hz). The length of a sound wave determines frequency. A sound’s frequency determines its pitch.
4. Intensity
The actual or comparative brightness of

Stanley Fish
– Fish’s reader is an “informed reader” or an “ideal reader”. The ideal reader responds to challenges and mysteries with relish.
– Especially when we have trouble understanding a text, we can ask what kind of ideal reader it seems to address.
– Fish tends to take the ideal reader in a more limited way. He ends up basing his suppositions about how ideal readers respond on his own understanding of how he himself responds.

Single Phase Induction Motor
Working Principle
Basically, a single-phase induction motor comprises a squirrel cage rotor similar to that of three-phase motors and a stator with a single-phase AC-powered winding. Usually constructed with powers less than 1 hp, they are also called fractional motors.
Introducing an alternating current in the stator windings produces a magnetomotive force in the gap. This produces a magnetic field proportional in strength, which in turn induces currents
