  2. Amplitude - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amplitude

    Peak-to-peak amplitude (abbreviated p–p or PtP or PtoP) is the change between peak (highest amplitude value) and trough (lowest amplitude value, which can be negative). With appropriate circuitry, peak-to-peak amplitudes of electric oscillations can be measured by meters or by viewing the waveform on an oscilloscope .

    (Oscillatory) displacement amplitude: Any quantity symbol typically subscripted with 0, m or max, or the capitalized letter (if displacement was in lower case). Here for generality A 0 is used and can be replaced. m [L] (Oscillatory) velocity amplitude V, v 0, v m. Here v 0 is used. m s −1 [L][T] −1 (Oscillatory) acceleration amplitude A, a ...

    These formulas provide the solution for the initial-value problem for the wave equation. They show that the solution at a given point P, given (t, x, y, z) depends only on the data on the sphere of radius ct that is intersected by the light cone drawn backwards from P. It does not depend upon data on the interior of this sphere.

    Visulization of flux through differential area and solid angle. As always ^ is the unit normal to the incident surface A, = ^, and ^ is a unit vector in the direction of incident flux on the area element, θ is the angle between them.

  7. Fresnel equations - Wikipedia

    But, for given amplitude (as noted above), the component of the Poynting vector in the y direction is proportional to the geometric factor cos θ and inversely proportional to the wave impedance Z. Applying these corrections to each wave, we obtain two ratios multiplying the square of the amplitude transmission coefficient:

  8. Sine wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sine_wave

    Sine waves of arbitrary phase and amplitude are called sinusoids and have the general form: [1] = ⁡ (+) = ⁡ (+) where: A {\displaystyle A} , amplitude , the peak deviation of the function from zero.

  9. Wave vector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_vector

    A is the amplitude of the wave (the peak magnitude of the oscillation), φ is a phase offset , ω is the (temporal) angular frequency of the wave, describing how many radians it traverses per unit of time, and related to the period T by the equation ω = 2 π T , {\displaystyle \omega ={\tfrac {2\pi }{T}},}
