Quality of sound varies on a screen (9)
I believe the answer is:
resonance
'quality of sound' is the definition.
'resonance' can be an answer for 'sound' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'quality of' bit.
'varies on a screen' is the wordplay.
'varies' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'vary' mean this).
'on'+'a'+'screen'='onascreen'
'onascreen' is an anagram of 'RESONANCE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for resonance that I've seen before include "Plangency" , "continuation of noise" , "Sonority" , "Sound amplification" , "shaking" .)
