Tutorial on Velocity, amplitude, wavelength, and frequency - the measures of a wave.
To find the amplitude, wavelength, period, and frequency of a sinusoidal wave, write down the wave function in the form \(y(x, t)=A \sin (k x-\omega t+\phi)\). The amplitude can be read straight from the equation and is equal to \(A\).
Mechanical waves exhibit characteristics common to all waves, such as amplitude, wavelength, period, frequency, and energy. All wave characteristics can be described by a small set of underlying principles.
Amplitude, frequency, wavenumber, and phase shift are properties of waves that govern their physical behavior. Each describes a separate parameter in the most general solution of the wave equation. Together, these properties account for a wide range of phenomena such as loudness, color, pitch, diffraction, and interference.
11 sty 2024 · amplitude – The maximum displacement of an harmonic wave depends upon how much the driver displaces the medium at the source of the wave. We also found that the amplitude can change (get smaller) when the wave is radiating outward from a point source in 2 or 3 dimensions.
Frequency tells us how many waves are passing a point per second, the inverse of time. Wavelength tells us the length of those waves in metres, almost like a displacement. If we multiply these two together, we are really multiplying 1/s and m … which gives us m/s, the velocity of the wave!
