  2. Frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency

    For cyclical phenomena such as oscillations, waves, or for examples of simple harmonic motion, the term frequency is defined as the number of cycles or repetitions per unit of time. The conventional symbol for frequency is f or ν (the Greek letter nu) is also used. [3] The period T is the time taken to complete one cycle of an oscillation or ...

  3. Time constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_constant

    In the frequency domain (for example, looking at the Fourier transform of the step response, or using an input that is a simple sinusoidal function of time) the time constant also determines the bandwidth of a first-order time-invariant system, that is, the frequency at which the output signal power drops to half the value it has at low ...

  4. RC time constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC_time_constant

    The time constant is related to the RC circuit's cutoff frequency f c, by = = or, equivalently, = = where resistance in ohms and capacitance in farads yields the time constant in seconds or the cutoff frequency in hertz (Hz).

  5. Instantaneous phase and frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instantaneous_phase_and...

    Instantaneous phase and frequency are important concepts in signal processing that occur in the context of the representation and analysis of time-varying functions. [1] The instantaneous phase (also known as local phase or simply phase ) of a complex-valued function s ( t ), is the real-valued function:

  6. Frequency (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_(statistics)

    A frequency distribution shows a summarized grouping of data divided into mutually exclusive classes and the number of occurrences in a class. It is a way of showing unorganized data notably to show results of an election, income of people for a certain region, sales of a product within a certain period, student loan amounts of graduates, etc.

  7. Rise time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rise_time

    In electronics, when describing a voltage or current step function, rise time is the time taken by a signal to change from a specified low value to a specified high value. [1] These values may be expressed as ratios [ 2 ] or, equivalently, as percentages [ 3 ] with respect to a given reference value.

    T is the time periods to calculate in years. Let’s say you’re depositing $10,000 into a high-yield account with a 5% APY compounded monthly. You must convert the APY into a decimal by dividing ...

  9. Relaxation (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relaxation_(physics)

    The relaxation time is a measure of the time it takes for one object in the system (the "test star") to be significantly perturbed by other objects in the system (the "field stars"). It is most commonly defined as the time for the test star's velocity to change by of order itself. [6] Suppose that the test star has velocity v.
