Is period amplitude or frequency?
The period of a wave is the time it takes to complete one cycle. The frequency is just the opposite; it’s the number of wave cycles that are completed in one second. Amplitude and wavelength are both measures of distance. The amplitude measures the height of the crest of the wave from the midline.
What is the period of a frequency?
The corresponding period is the time duration of one cycle in a repeating event, so the period is the reciprocal of the frequency. For example, if a heart beats at a frequency of 120 times a minute (2 hertz), its period, T—the time interval between beats—is half a second (60 seconds divided by 120 beats).
What is the formula for calculating amplitude?
x is the displacement in metres
How to calculate period with amplitude?
The amplitude is how far (either way) the values run from the graph’s centerline.
How do you calculate the period and frequency?
– In this formula, f represents frequency and T represents the time period or amount of time required to complete a single wave oscillation. – Example A: The time for a certain wave to complete a single oscillation is 0.32 seconds. What is the frequency of this wave? – Example B: In 0.57 seconds, a certain wave can complete 15 oscillations.
How to find the amplitude of a periodic function?
– Find the maximum value of the function – Find the minimum value of the function – The midline is the average of the max and min values – The amplitude is the difference between the max value and the midline
