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.

What is a periodic AC wave?

AC in this context probably means Alternating Current. This kind of current changes direction 60 times per second. The variation in the direction of the current can be graphed in the form of a sine wave.


What is Ac on periodic table?

Actinium


What would happen to the wave length if you could increase the frequency of a periodic wave?

If you increase the frequency of a periodic wave, the wavelength would decrease. This is because wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional in a wave: as frequency goes up, wavelength goes down.


Is IC555 is an ac device or dc device?

it is DC powered, but can generate sawtooth or triangular wave AC if wired up properly. it cannot generate sine wave AC, although with an opamp wave shaping circuit the triangular AC waveform can be reshaped to a rough approximation of a sine wave.


Can transformer operate on triangular wave DC?

If its a triangular wave, its not DC, its AC, its just not sinusoidal. Can a transformer operate on triangular AC? Yes, but not as efficiently as on sinusoidal AC.


How do you describe a wave?

Wave is just a disturbance in a regular/periodic/organized way.


What is the difference between a pulse wave and periodic waves?

A pulse wave is a single vibratory disturbance that moves from one point to another. A periodic wave is a serious of disturbances that are evenly spaced.


Is AC a wave or a wave form?

AC stands for "alternating current," which is a type of electrical current that periodically changes direction. It is not a wave but can be represented by a waveform, which shows how the voltage or current changes over time in a repetitive manner. So, AC is not a wave itself, but it produces a waveform when graphed.


A series of evenly timed pulses create a wave that can be described as a what kind of wave?

A periodic wave.


What will change the velocity of a periodic wave?

The velocity of a periodic wave is determined by the medium through which it travels and the frequency of the wave. Changes in the medium's properties (such as density or elasticity) can alter the wave velocity. Additionally, changes in the frequency of the wave can affect its velocity according to the wave equation.


Why you are considering sine wave as ac but not cosine wave?

Sine wave is considered as the AC signal because it starts at 0 amplitude and it captures the alternating nature of the signal. Cosine wave is just a phase shift of the sine wave and represents the same signal. So, either sine or cosine wave can be used to represent AC signals. However, sine wave is more conventionally used.


Why is wave motion doubly periodic?

Wave motion is considered doubly periodic because it repeats itself both spatially and temporally. In other words, the wave pattern repeats at regular intervals both in space and time. The spatial periodicity refers to the wave pattern repeating at a fixed distance, while temporal periodicity refers to the wave pattern repeating at fixed time intervals.
