Amplitude refers to the angle of swing, or how far back the pendulum swings. A resting pendulum has an angle of 0 degrees; pull it back halfway between resting and parallel to the ground and you have a 45-degree angle. Start a pendulum and you determine the amplitude. Experiment with di...
When a mechanical wave propagates through a physical medium, the particles of the medium oscillate about their mean positions with their positions being sinusoidal functions of time. The maximum displacement of each particle relative to its mean position is the amplitude of the wav...
What is the period of a wave if 3 waves pass every 6 seconds? How does the frequency change when a wave moves from a less dense to a more dense medium? If one doubles the amplitude of a wave, what must happen to the wavelength? What does the frequency of a wave represent? If a...
1. Definition of Amplitude: Amplitude refers to the maximum displacement of a particle from its mean (or rest) position in a sound wave. 2. Understanding Mean Position: The mean position is the equilibrium position where the particles of the medium would rest if there were no sound wave pa...
QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation) is a method of combining two amplitudemodulation(AM) signals into a single channel. This modulation scheme helps double the channel's effectivebandwidth. QAM is also used with pulse AM in digital systems, such aswireless communications. ...
When modulation adds information to a carrier signal, it adjusts one of its qualities. Properties of carrier signals that modulation can alter include the following: Amplitude. Frequency. Phase. Polarization. Quantum-level phenomena, such as spin. ...
The FFT analysis yields an amplitude for the voltage, current, and cos phi for each harmonic. The Dewesoft power module has a built-in FFT analyzer in addition to the other visual display types Multi-phase power analyzers In the DewesoftX power module, there are several predefined system ...
A system that appears stable under the influence of a capacitor de-aged during assembly may be found to grow less stable with time as loss of capacitance due to aging affects the dynamics of the control loop. Most importantly, if a stable capacitance value over time is important, capacitors ...
Soundwave Amplitude: The amplitude is the size of a given wave. Think of it as sort of like the wave’s height as opposed to its length. The soundwave amplitude is more accurately defined as the maximum displacement of the particles the sound wave disturbs as it passes through a medium. ...
Pilots adjust the plane's altitude to avoid turbulence. 2 Amplitude Light wave brightness. The amplitude of a light wave affects its brightness. 2 Altitude Altitude or height (also sometimes known as depth) is a distance measurement, usually in the vertical or "up" direction, between a referen...
