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 w...
1. A sound wave of the form s = sm cos(kx - ωt + φ) travels at 345 m/s through air in a long horizontal tube. At one instant, air molecule A at x = 2.00 m...
The amplitude of a wave is the distance between its highest point and the point of equilibrium. This highest point is called the antinode. In most waves, the antinode appears to move along the length of the medium. With a standing wave, the antinode remains in the same place, because the...
Amplitude: The amplitude of a wave is the maximum displacement of any particle producing the wave, from its mean position. In Fig., the distance of the points A, C or E from the straight line OBDF is the amplitude of the wave. Wave velocity: Distance travelled by a wave in unit time...
The wavelength is the length, in meters, of one full cycle of the wave. It can be measured as the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs. Next, we have the period, which is the time, in seconds, that it takes for one full wave cycle to pass a particular poin...
Discussion Comments By anon1004756 — On Apr 14, 2021 Graphic examples would be helpful. What is the difference between an R wave that segment on its upward trajectory versus one that splits on its downward slope? What about the amplitude of the R wave -- what does that indicate?
What is the intensity of the wave? If the intensity of an electromagnetic wave is 80 MW/m2, what is the amplitude of the magnetic field of this wave? An electromagnetic wave in a vacuum has an electric field amplitude of 432 V/m. What is the magnetic field...
To solve the question regarding the direction of vibrations of particles in transverse and longitudinal waves, we can break it down into two parts:1. Understanding Transverse Waves: - In a transverse wave, the particles of t
Typically, amplitude looks at the movement of a security's price from its wave cycle trough, or bottom, to its top, or crest. When looking at the path of the security from the bottom to the top, the amplitude is positive; when looking from the top to the bottom, the amplitude is neg...
The oscillation amplitude in the p-wave modulation function canbe larger than, smaller than or equal to the oscillation amplitude of s-wavemodulation function when the angle between the laser polarization direction andthe static electric field direction is tuned to be smaller than, larger than or...
