## chen1997figure.png The image consists of two graphs side by side, each representing a different type of vowel: "Non-nasal Vowel" on the left and "Nasal Vowel" on the right. Both graphs are plotted with frequency (FREQ) in Hertz along the x-axis and Magnitude (MAG) in decibels (dB) along the y-axis. ### Left Graph - Non-Nasal Vowel: - The graph shows a curve that starts at around 60 dB at zero Hz, indicating the highest magnitude of sound energy. - As frequency increases from left to right, there is a gradual decrease in magnitude until it reaches approximately 25 dB near 4.5 kHz. - There are several peaks and troughs within this range, suggesting variations in the intensity of different frequencies contributing to the sound. ### Right Graph - Nasal Vowel: - Similar to the non-nasal vowel graph, this one also starts at around 60 dB but shows a slightly different pattern as frequency increases. - The magnitude decreases more gradually compared to the non-nasal vowel until it reaches about 35 dB near 4.5 kHz. - There are fewer peaks and troughs in comparison to the non-nasal vowel graph, indicating less variation in intensity across frequencies. ### Common Features: - Both graphs have labeled points on the y-axis: P0 (around 60 dB), A1 (around 40 dB), and P1 (around 25 dB). - The x-axis is marked with frequency intervals from zero to approximately 5 kHz. - The term "FREQ" is written at the bottom of each graph, indicating that this axis represents frequency in Hertz. ### Identifying Individuals: There are no individuals or characters present in these graphs. They are purely graphical representations of sound wave characteristics for two types of vowels: non-nasal and nasal.
