Define amplitude and frequency as they relate to a wave?

1 answer:

3 0

<span>frequency definition. In physics, the number of crests of a wave that move past a given point in a given unit of time. The most common unit offrequency is the hertz (Hz), corresponding to one crest per second. Thefrequency of a wave can be calculated by dividing the speed of the wave by the wavelength.</span><span>amplitude, in physics, the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position. It is equal to one-half the length of the vibration path.</span>

Answer:

0.80865 Hz

1.23662 seconds

Explanation:

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

l = Length of arm = 0.57 m

Length of simple pendulum is given by

$L=\dfrac{2}{3}l\\\Rightarrow L=\dfrac{2}{3}\times 0.57\\\Rightarrow L=0.38\ m$
