pick out specific sounds. It's made by combining low pass and high pass filters, allowing
flexibility for narrow or wide frequency ranges. Cutoff frequenciesmarktheedgesofthe
passband. Using simple parts like resistors and capacitors, we can control the filter's
frequency.
Theoretical Background
band-pass filter merges low and high pass filters, letting through a specific range of
A
frequencies while blocking others. In audio, it's vital to isolate only desired frequencies.
Thisrange,calledbandwidth,doesn'tstartat0Hzorgotoveryhighfrequencies,butstays
within a set range, wide or narrow.

filter acts as a frequency selector, similar to a "whitelist," permitting only chosen
frequencies to pass through.

Procedure
3. We then fixed them on the breadboard to make the following circuit:
4. W e gave a very small frequency of 1 Hz and noted down the corresponding value of
voltage across the resistor onourOscilloscopeunderthe“Vpp”reading.Wethenkept
increasing the frequency slowly and the responses were noted down in a table.
5. We made sure to give a sinusoidal input and measure the amplitude.
6. Then I connected the Oscilloscope probes across the capacitor C₂.
7. S tarting from zero, we adjusted the frequency from the signal generator so that the
output was equal to 70.7% of the amplitude of the source, and noted it down asthe
Lower Cut-off Frequency in the table.
