Frequency Spectrum Analysis in Physics and Signal Processing

Quick fact

A musical chord is just a few individual tones blended together; frequency spectrum analysis can pull them apart just as a prism splits white light into a rainbow of colors.

Why this is interesting

Every sound, light wave, or vibration you encounter is actually a blend of many pure tones happening at once—so what if you could separate a complex signal into its hidden ingredients?
