In order to find the frequency of an oscilloscope trace, you must first find the period, which is the time it takes for one oscillation, which can be found by measuring the amount of time from one peak our trough to the next. The frequency is the number of oscillations per second, and can be found by dividing 1 by the period in seconds.

What is the term for what measures sound waves?
An oscilloscope is the machine, but it measures frequency.... so sound waves are measured by frequency
What is the device called which turns vibrations into a sound wave trace on a screen?
You're thinking of an "oscilloscope".
What is the instrument used for measuring frequency?
It would depend on what type of frequency you are measuring. One instrument in electric and electronic engineering would be an oscilloscope.
How do you measure the frequency of a sound wave?
Capture the sound with a microphone, feed its output into an oscilloscope with a calibrated timebase. Measure the time period T of the wave on the horizontal axis, then convert it into a frequency ( = 1/T)
Which equipment is most useful when measuring wavelength?
In case of measuring the wavelength of light we use Spectrometer. You could also use an oscilloscope or a dedicated frequency counter.
Oscilloscope trace of high pitched loud note?
high frequency, high amplitude.
What is CRO and AFO?
Audio Frequency Oscilloscope and Cathode Ray Oscilloscope
What is Difference between dual trace oscillosope and dual trace generator?
Oscilloscope is used to display electrical signals on a display. A dual trace oscilloscope can display two signals simultaneously. For a trace generator I think you mean a signal or a function generator which generates electrical waveforms of varying shapes, frequency and amplitude. A dual trace or a function generator in that sense is an equipment capable of generating two independent waveforms at the same time. - Neeraj
What does oscilloscope an measure?
An oscilloscope takes an electrical input signal and converts it into a visible trace on a screen - i.e. it converts electricity into light. An oscilloscope helps us to measure the voltage(maximum)....We can also find frequency from it by using a Equation.. We can use the maximum voltage in this equation i=v(maximum)sinѠt to find the current.
What are the advantages of dual trace over dual beam CRO for multiple trace?
what are the advantages of dual trace oscilloscope
Working principle of dual trace oscilloscope?
Dual-trace operation allows you to view two independent signal sources as a dual display on a single CRT. This operation allows an accurate means of making amplitude, phase, time displacement, or frequency comparisons and measurements between two signals. A dual-trace oscilloscope should not be confused with a dual-beam oscilloscope. Dual-beam oscilloscopes produce two separate electron beams on a single scope, which can be individually or jointly controlled. Dual-trace refers to a single beam in a CRT that is shared by two channels.
How could you measure the ripple frequency?
With either a digital frequency meter or an oscilloscope.
Is the oscilloscope trace movement across the CRT related to time?
Yes
Why you cannot see frequency modulation on oscilloscope?
A: no idea because it can
What oscilloscope control moves the trace up and down the screen vertically?
position
Will a dual trace oscilloscope have one set of position control?
Nope - it has controls for each trace. I have a DTO and it has controls to position the trace horizontally for each channel.
What is the term for what measures sound waves?
An oscilloscope is the machine, but it measures frequency.... so sound waves are measured by frequency
