Abstract

This weekend I did the same exact thing as every weekend since winterbreak. I had to paint for art. I am also happy that it is the last weekend ever that I will have to paint in my entire life because our portfolios are due soon.
One of the paintings that struck my mind when I was in physics class was my abstract since there isn't much form in it. The color is what brings it out. Thankfully I didn't have to make every color from magenta, cyan, and yellow. I did however, mix the whole opaque background with different colors that came from the tubes of paint. The translucent colors, however, are pretty much the raw colors that came out of the tubes of paint. What really matters is that I finished it, but I have like 10 more paintings to finish up.

Bass

Today I was fooling around with my bass guitar. It made notes thats were very low and would have made very long sound waves. I can't really play anything on it, but I noticed that when its not plugged into the amp, it made the same note as when it is plugged into the amp. This shows that volume has no effect on frequency, and since frequency is inversely related to period, volume will also not have an effect on the length of the wave. On the graphs that we did in the lab, I noticed that volume was represented by amplitude, and frequency and period were represented by the wavelength. This means that although the amplitude must be a lot taller with the amp, the period and frequency were the same.
I also noticed how my mom could easily hear me playing with or without the amp. I'm not sure if it was just because it was loud but I'm sure part of it was because of the resonance the low notes of the bass made with the walls of my house.
