In this specific set of steps and screenshots, you will be shown how to cite a journal article with one author in strict compliance with the 6th edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (2010). Learning how to write journal article references correctly will save you valuable editing time as well as the time of your faculty supervisors (in the case of dissertations and theses) or the journal reviewers (in the case of manuscripts). In an editorial co-authored by the first author of this book (John), the most common APA errors were documented. See the editorial "Evidence-Based Guidelines for Avoiding the Most Common APA Errors in Journal Article Submissions." http://msera.org/download/RITS_16_2_APAErrors6th.pdf

can someone explain to me, an ignorant high school student, why the trend of the graph doesn't follow the fact that the higher frequency a sound wave is, the more power it is, hence, making me think the phons output would follow this general trend?
Joseph Reply
Nevermind i just realied that the graph is the phons output for a person with normal hearing and not just the phons output of the sound waves power, I should read the entire thing next time
Joseph
Follow up question, does anyone know where I can find a graph that accuretly depicts the actual relative "power" output of sound over its frequency instead of just humans hearing
