Why does the derivative of an audio file act like a high-pass filter?
Yes both the time derivative $d/dt$ and the discrete time difference $x[n]-x[n-1]$ are indeed "high pass filters": consider the extreme case of the lowest frequency, which is DC or a ...

Why does the derivative of an audio file act like a high-pass filter?
$\frac{d}{dt}\sin(\omega t) = \omega\cos(\omega t)$ as a consequence of the chain rule. $\sin$ and $\cos$ are the same apart from the phase shift, so the derivative is a filter with a response that's ...

How to produce a high-pass filter from a low-pass one?
The result will indeed be a high pass filter. From your difference equation, the transfer function of the low pass filter is
$$H_l(z)=\frac{\beta}{1-(1-\beta)z^{-1}}\tag{1}$$
with $\beta=1/\alpha$.

Should I Use a High Pass Filter (HPF) or Low Pass Filter (LPF) to Enhance the Features for Image Splicing Detection?
Since you're after a filter which emphasizes abrupt changes you should use High Pass Filter.
The issue is you'd be also sensitive to noise.
Hence one way to do it is to apply High Pass Filter on ...

Designing High Pass Filter to Remove DC Offset from a Signal
If the DFT is the Uniform sampling from $ 0 $ to $ 2 \pi $ then the first bin is given by:

Applying a high-pass filter on constant signal
The input to your filter is essentially a step function (since it has value 0 prior to t = 0, and a positive value for t > 0), so you see the step response of the filter, hence the initial ringing. ...
