Best Answer

No. If compared to ocean waves, amplitude would be wave height, and period would be how long to next wave.

What is the period and amplitude for y equals 7 cos 2x?

amplitude =7. to find the period, set 2x equal to 2∏. then x=∏=period


What is the amplitude and period of f(t) -5 cos(8t)?

Amplitude = 5 Period = pi/4 radians (= 45 degrees).


Does a period of a pendulum depend on the amplitude?

For very little swings, no, the period is unrelated to the amplitude. For larger swings, however, the period increases slightly due to circular error.


How are frequency and amplitude related?

They're not. The same amplitude can have high or low frequency, and the same frequency can have large or small amplitude.


The period of anharmonic vibrations is independent of the amplitude?

Yes, the period doesn't influence or depend on the amplitude of vibrations. Tides and earthquakes have vibrations with long periods and enormous amplitude. The timing crystal in a 'quartz' wristwatch has vibrations with short period and tiny amplitude. The sound playing through a loudspeaker or a set of earbuds can sweep through the full frequency range of human hearing ... changing the period of the vibrations from 0.05 second to 0.00005 second ... while maintaining constant amplitude.


What will be the effect of time period of a simple pendulum if its mass is doubled and its amplitude is halved?

The PERIOD of a Simple Pendulum is affected by its LENGTH, and NOT by its Mass or the amplitude of its swing. So, in your case, the Period of the Pendulum's swing would remain UNCHANGED!


What are the attributes of a sinusoidal waveform?

Amplitude, frequency/period and phase.


Does the time period of oscillation depend on the displacement from the equilibrium position?

As long as angular amplitude is kept small, the period does not depend on the angular amplitude of the oscillation. It is simply dependent on the weight. It should be noted that to some extent period actually does depend on the angular amplitude and if it gets too large, the effect will become noticeable.


Does the amplitude affect the period of the pendulum?

The period of a pendulum is (sort of) independent of the amplitude. This is technically true for very small, "infinitesimal" swings. In this range, amplitude does not affect period. For larger swings, however, a circular error is introduced, but it is possible to compensate with various designs. See the Related Link below for further information.


Does amplitude change in polarization?

i think the answer is no the amplitude is the same but the plane of oscillation of the wave is changing.


What is related to the amplitude of sound?

The amplitude of a sound wave is what we perceive as volume. It is the amount of energy "carried" within each period of the wave.


Would you keep the amplitude of simple pendulm small or large?

i think small amplitude is best because small amplitude gives perfect time period as well as to obey SHM.
