amplitude, in physics, the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position . It is equal to one-half the length of the vibration path.
Read moreWhat is the difference between amplitude frequency and pitch?
Volume (amplitude ) – shown by the height of the waves displayed. The larger the amplitude of the waves, the louder the sound. Pitch (frequency) – shown by the spacing of the waves displayed . The closer together the waves are, the higher the pitch of the sound.
Read moreWhat is the formula for wave period?
The formula for period is T = 1 / f , where “T” is period – the time it takes for one cycle to complete, and “f” is frequency. To get period from frequency, first convert frequency from Hertz to 1/s.
Read moreWhat is a good wave period?
10-12 Good to Great – Decent surfing waves arriving in uniformed sets. Expect more wave face, longer rides with a more pronounced shape. 13+ Excellent – Great long period ground swell generated by a large storm and high winds far out to sea.
Read moreWhy is frequency important in waves?
This is the time it takes for the wave to undergo one complete oscillation or one complete motion. The wave period is inversely proportional to the frequency – the longer the period, the lower the frequency .
Read moreWhat does it mean if the wave frequency is high?
The frequency of a wave is inversely proportional to its wavelength. That means that waves with a high frequency have a short wavelength , while waves with a low frequency have a longer wavelength. Light waves have very, very short wavelengths.
Read moreWhat is considered a low frequency?
Anything below 200 Hz is considered low frequency and anything above 2,000 Hz is high frequency sound.
