Amplitude and frequency

Answer 1

If if you think of The Sound of Music, the amplitude tells how loud it is and the frequency tells how high the sound is.

Amplitude is the measure of a magnitude of oscillation of a wave .

Frequency is the measure of number of times that a repeated event occurs per unit time.

f = 1/T

f = frequency

T = time period

Answer 2

In an EM wave we have both : the frequency and amplitude of the magnetic field (coinciding), and the frequency and amplitude of the electrical field (coinciding too). These two pairs are shifted is space while they advance in space - at the angle 90 degree: 1 point (the beginning of the wave's length) space is magnetized in one direction with no electrical field, 2 point (1/4 of the wave). space is electricized in one direction no magnetic field, 3 point (2/4 of the wave) space is magnetized in other direction no electrical field, 4 poiont (3/4 of the wave). space is electricized in other direction no magnetic field 5 point (4/4 of the wave) space again is magnetized in one direction with no electrical field: one full period 360 degrees completes. So they interchange each other (because are born by each other). By that amplitude means the qantity of the particles involved: rising-falling amplitude on a sinusoid graph means not the rising speed of them but their number involved in the creation of the magnetic field, then electrical, and so on.

Answer 3

• Amplitude, "height" of the peaks and "depth" of the valleys of the wave.
• Frequency, how many waves pass a given location in one second.

These are true for all types of waves: water waves, sound waves, electromagnetic waves, seismic waves, gravitational waves, etc.

Answer 4

For a sinusoidal, single frequency wave form, The amplitude is the size of the wave, how big it is, the volume or voltage swing.

The frequency is how often the wave form repeats itself in a given time frame. ie, how many cycles per second.
One cycle, from 0, through maximum, through zero, to minimum and back up to zero again, is one cycle. If this happens in 1 second, then it is said to have a frequency of 1 cycle per second or 1 Hertz, (named after the scientist who discovered it).
In radio and electronics we deal with multiple hertz waves, 1,000 cycles per second c/s = 1 Kilohertz.
1 million cycles per second = 1 Megahertz, etc.

Amplitude and frequency are two different measures of a particular waveform, like weight and volume is to a solid object.

Answer 5

No- amplitude is the height of the wave..loudness is related to amplitude, but they are not the same
