What is the measurement of a amplitude?
Decibels probably
The hight of a wave?
The height of a wave is also known as its amplitude. More generally, the amplitude is "how much some measurement changes" - this measurement need not always be a height.
What point of a wave has negative amplitude?
The trough of a wave appears to have a negative amplitude. However, because amplitude is a distance measurement, which is a scalar quantity having only magnitude, it has no sign.
How do you convert hz to decibles?
You don't. Hz (always capitalized) is the unit for measuring frequency or pitch. dB is the unit for measuring amplitude or relative loudness of the sound. You cannot convert a frequency measurement to an amplitude measurement.
The Richter magnitude of an earthquake is determined from the .?
measurement of the amplitude of the largest seismic waves
Which of the following can be used in the measurement of an analog signals amplitude?
Amperes Hertz Watts
What do you call the measurement of a wave magnitude of oscillation?
a device called a rictor scale is used
Half the vertical distance between the crest and through of a wave is called the?
The vertical distance between a wave's midpoint and its crest or trough is called is peak amplitude. This differentiates this measurement from the vertical distance from a crest to a trough, which is called its peak-to-peak amplitude.
What is the SI unit of the amplitude of a wave?
We need a length or distance measurement here. The unit is meter or a part of it, like centimeter, millimeter.
What has the author Thomas L Murray written?
Thomas L. Murray has written: 'A Real-time Seismic Amplitude Measurement System (RSAM)' -- subject(s): Seismometry, Measurement, Computer programs
How loud a sound seems is determined by what measurement of the sound waves?
Loudness is determined by the amplitude of the sound waves.
A sound waves amplitude corresponds to the sounds what?
Usually, people are asking as if there is just "the" amplitude in sound waves in air. The loudness perception of a sound is determined by the amplitude of the sound waves − the higher the amplitude, the louder the sound. Which amplitude of sound (sound amplitude) do you mean? There are: amplitude of particle displacement ξ, or displacement amplitude amplitude of sound pressure p or pressure amplitude amplitude of sound particle velocity v, or particle velocity amplitude amplitude of pressure gradient Δ p, or pressure gradient amplitude. Furthermore, think of the amplitude of the oscillation of a string. The maximum magnitude of the deflection of a wave is called amplitude. Look at link: "What is an amplitude?"
