spectrum of sinewave contains how many components

The spectrum of a pure sine wave by definition has only one component. Any other periodic wave will additional components at multiples of the fundemental frequency. The spectrum may or may not extend to infinity. A square wave for example has infinite harmonics, the harmonics of a 'modified sine wave' inverter has lower harmonics than a square wave but still has infinite harmonics. As you get closer to a pure sinusiod the energy content of the higher harmonics will be essentially non existent. It all depends how close the wave approximates a pure sinusoid.

How sine wave preserves its shape?

Sine waves are a pure frequency, and hence are very stable, when passing through an analog circuit, they will keep their shape but may have their amplitude reduced. In comparison, a square wave has many frequency components, each of which may react differently to a circuit, resulting in a distorted waveform.


How do i find the components of a vector?

Usually the two familiar components are opposite and adjacent. For opposite sine function and for adjacent cosine function have to used. Hence as R is to be resolved then the components are R sin@ and R cos@, where @ is the angle of R with its adjacent.


Is sawtooth signal analog?

Yes. A signal of plateaus shows quantized or discrete levels of one or the other voltage; only 2 states. A sawtooth signal has a spectrum of states and has many more than 2 discrete states and is thereby analog. A sine wave is also an example of an analog signal - a spectrum of intensity.


Can a person use a transformer to convert modified sine wave into pure sine wave for off grids electrical suppy system?

A pure sine wave does not have any harmonic components beyond the fundamental. A transformer, if chosen carefully, could act as a low pass filter (removing the harmonics), but this is overkill. It would be better to develop a filter to do this.

What is the value of sine 3.3?

Sine 3.3 degrees is about 0.057564. Sine 3.3 radians is about -0.157746. Sine 3.3 grads is about 0.051813.


What is sine infinity?

Sine does not converge but oscillates. As a result sine does not tend to a limit as its argument tends to infinity. So sine(infinity) is not defined.


What is the Time domain analysis of control system?

Time domain basically means plotting a curve of amplitude over thr time axis. A given function or signal can be converted between the time and frequency domains with a pair of mathematical operators called a transform. An example is the Fourier transform, which decomposes a function into the sum of a (potentially infinite) number of sine wave frequency components. The 'spectrum' of frequency components is the frequency domain representation of the signal. The inverse Fourier transform converts the frequency domain function back to a time function.


How can a traveling wave be described mathematically?

A harmonic may be described by a sine function graphically, and the components of a wave (amplitude, frequency etc...) may be described by their corresponding physics formulas.
