what is meant by the 'timbre of sound' ? what is a pure tone? name an instrument that produces a pure tone when struck against something.​

Answer 1

• Timbre, also called timber, quality of auditory sensations produced by the tone of a sound wave.
• “a Pure Tone sound is a pressure disturbance that fluctuates sinusoidally as a fixed frequency”. Another distinguished acoustics professor, Cyrill Harris gets right to the point and defines Pure Tone as “a sound composed of a single frequency”
• A tuning fork is a fork-shaped acoustic resonator used in many applications to produce a fixed tone. The main reason for using the fork shape is that, unlike many other types of resonators, it produces a very pure tone, with most of the vibrational energy at the fundamental frequency.

Explanation:

Timbre (pronounced TAM-bər) is the sound quality, or tone quality, of a note played on a particular musical instrument. Two musical instruments can play identical pitches at identical volumes and still produce distinct musical sounds, or timbres.
