18 Volts.
Audio output frequency is that range of frequencies that can be heard. For humans, that is generally considered to be the range of 20Hz to 20kHz.
The IC You speak of, commonly referred to as a 555, is a multivibrator. Simply put, it can be configured to produce voltage pulses in some order.In the case of a buzzer circuit, it is used to vibrate with a certain frequency - this frequency is then driven to the speaker and is heard as the 'buzz'. And thus, it's a frequency source.
Deviation ratio: In a frequency modulation system, the ratio of the maximum frequency deviation of the carrier to the maximum modulating frequency of the system under specified conditions
The 8-pin 555 timer must be one of the most useful ICs ever made and it is used in many projects. With just a few external components it can be used to build many circuits, not all of them involve timing!A popular version is the NE555 and this is suitable in most cases where a '555 timer' is specified. The 556 is a dual version of the 555 housed in a 14-pin package, the two timers (A and B) share the same power supply pins. The circuit diagrams on this page show a 555, but they could all be adapted to use one half of a 556.Low power versions of the 555 are made, such as the ICM7555, but these should only be used when specified (to increase battery life) because their maximum output current of about 20mA (with a 9V supply) is too low for many standard 555 circuits. The ICM7555 has the same pin arrangement as a standard 555.The circuit symbol for a 555 (and 556) is a box with the pins arranged to suit the circuit diagram: for example 555 pin 8 at the top for the +Vs supply, 555 pin 3 output on the right. Usually just the pin numbers are used and they are not labelled with their function.The 555 and 556 can be used with a supply voltage (Vs) in the range 4.5 to 15V (18V absolute maximum).Standard 555 and 556 ICs create a significant 'glitch' on the supply when their output changes state. This is rarely a problem in simple circuits with no other ICs, but in more complex circuits a smoothing capacitor (eg 100µF) should be connected across the +Vs and 0V supply near the 555 or 556.Source: http://www.kpsec.freeuk.com/555timer.htm
In natural frequencies the output of the system will be less than the maximum level. In the resonance frequency the output of the system will be the maximum level.
See the section on Astable mode for a sample circuit:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/555_timer_ICSee the section on 555 Timing: Ra Rbhttp://www.williamson-labs.com/555-circuits.htmGoogle is your friend.
The half-power frequency is the frequency at which the power of a signal is half of its maximum value. In terms of filters, it is the frequency at which the output power drops to half of the maximum power. This frequency is commonly used to define the bandwidth of a filter.
The 555 IC timer does not have a clock.
Yes. Setup the 555 as an oscillator and plug the capacitor under test into it and measure the frequency of the signal generated. For more precision, measure the charge time only, and use a constant current source, but that is getting more complicated than need be - there are far better ways to test a capacitor than with a 555.

The 555 is a timer and oscillator chip capable of sourcing and sinking 200 milliamperes, and is useful for pulsing an infrared LED to power an infrared transmitter. It can be pulse width modulated or otherwise controlled via the various control pins. See: http://talkingelectronics.com/FreeProjects/555/555-P3.html in most cases the IR detector used is TSOP sensors which works only on a specified frequency of 38KHz. So by using 555 timer, we can design the circuit very easly to work @ 38KHz. dats why in 555 is used in many IR txns.
The main advantage of an IC 555 is that is useful for creating different kinds of purposes like time delays, oscillator purposes, and pulse generation. The time increments are incredibly adjustable, such as from microseconds to hours.
twice the input frequency
Check for shorts to ground from your output pin
I'd probably just use a higher frequency source and a counter. Count the number of 555 toggles per period and you have the frequency.
