The period of a wave is the?
The time taken by one complete oscillation to cross a fixed point is called the period of a wave.
What is the physics definition of period?
The physics definition of period is the duration of one complete cycle of a wave or oscillation.
What is the length of one cycle of oscillation?
In physics the distance is called wavelength. Period is the time it takes for one wavelength of wave to pass through a given point.
What is the frequency of the waves?
Waves are constituted by periodic oscillations of some physical quantity (like pressure in matter of electric field, in this cases we talk about sound and electromagnetic waves). A superposition of different oscillations is also a wave. Let us consider a single oscillation. Since it is periodic, if we focus on the quantity on a single point, in time it has a periodic change. The wave frequency is by definition the inverse of the period of this change, that is the inverse of the time elapsed between two consecutive instant where the considered quantity has the same values in the same point. A wave constituted by a single oscillation is called monochromatic, from the fact that light constituted by a single oscillation is of a well defined primary color. If the wave is a superposition of different oscillation it is said to have different frequency components, one for each individual oscillation. Such a wave, on the example of light, is called polychromatic.
What happens when a wave period increases?
lowers the frequency.The period is the time for one complete wave
The period of a wave is the?
The time taken by one complete oscillation to cross a fixed point is called the period of a wave.
How are the period and the frequency of a wave reletated?
The period of a wave is defined as the time taken by a wave to complete one oscillation. While, the frequency of a wave is defined as the number of oscillations completed by a wave in one second.
What is the physics definition of period?
The physics definition of period is the duration of one complete cycle of a wave or oscillation.
What is time taken by an object to complete one oscillation called?
time period
What is time period of vibration?
its the time taken for one complete vibration.
What is an oscillation that travels from one place to another?
A wave
What does a waves period of oscillation mean?
It is the amount of time taken by a wave to go from one crest to the next crest, or one trough to the next.
What is the time period of the minute hand on a clock?
The time period of a nimute hand on the clock is one minute since it takes a minute for it to complete one oscillation, ie., one complete cycle of the clock.
The time required for one complete wave cycle?
period.
What is AC periodic wave?
A periodic wave is a wave that compares time and periods. The period is the time for one complete cycle to happen on an oscilloscope.
If the frequency of a given wave is 10 Hz what is the period of the wave?
The relationship to be kept in mind is that the time period, which is the time take for one complete oscillation, is the reciprocal of frequency (the number of oscillations completed in one second). That is, T = 1/f where Period T, is measured in seconds Frequency f, is measured in Hertz. In your specific case, if f = 10 Hz, T = 0.1 s.
What is the length of one cycle of oscillation?
In physics the distance is called wavelength. Period is the time it takes for one wavelength of wave to pass through a given point.
