Want this question answered?
An osciloppe measures oscillations. Oscillations are vibrations. And vibrations are sound waves.
Amplitude is used for different waves. For a water wave, the amplitude might be measured in units of length (meters or centimeters), for a sound wave, in units of pressure, for an electromagnetic wave, in terms of electrical properties, for an electrical signal, in volts, etc. - so it really depends on the kind of wave.
The amplitude of seismic waves as measured by a seismometer.
it basically used for measurement of pressure.

In the study of wave patterns, this distance is referred to as Amplitude. It is arrived at by calculating the height of waves ( or, in this instance the height between a wave crest and the trough that follows it), passing a fixed point in space. Along this fixed point, ( actually a line, oriented vertically) some convention of measurement would be used ( inches, meters, etc). For a visual idea, seeing an Oscilloscope in operation, displaying a Sine wave pattern, will display an Amplitude that can be manipulated through the use of the Amplitude dial. The Oscilloscope is a measurement tool used in the Study of the Physics of Sound, and other applications.
This control reduces the amplitude of the applied signal to a point where the whole signal can be displayed on the oscilloscope screen. The amount of voltage reduction is marked on this control switch so that it can be used as a voltmeter.
Amperes Hertz Watts
The amplitude of a wave measures the height of a wave, as commonly depicted on a 2-D graph. However, amplitude tends to measure purely the absolute value of the distance from 0 or the baseline. So a wave with a height of 2 would not be said to have an amplitude of 4 due to the height above and below 0, but rather just an amplitude of 2. Hope this helps.
a device called a rictor scale is used
Oscilloscope probes are used as part of an Oscilloscope. These are the pieces that connect to your circuit in which you would like to measure its sine waves.
The scale is the numerical system that is used to define the axis of a graph.
A sound level meter would be used to measure sound level, and the unit is in decibels, dB. You could also measure it with a microphone and oscilloscope, provided you could calibrate them against standard instruments.
period are measued in oscilloscope by using or calculating time division
A computer oscilloscope is used in computer diagnostics, where the oscilloscope measures voltages at different points of microchips at different points of time in order to find the broken part.
The cathode ray oscilloscope is basically a measuring instrument. Time period of any sinusoidal signal can be measured along X-axis.Other applications of CRO is the calculation of peak to peak voltage,current of any signal and the phase difference between the two signals can also me determined.The uses of the oscilloscope are as follows:To display the wave forms of ac and dc signals.It helps to specify the amplitude of the signal on the y-axis and the period on the x-axis.
