What is Amplitude in wave physics?

Back

Amplitude is the maximum extent of a vibration or oscillation, measured from the position of equilibrium. It indicates the strength or intensity of the wave.

Define Period in the context of waves.

Back

The period is the time taken for one complete cycle of a wave to pass a given point, typically measured in seconds.

Front

What is Frequency in wave physics?

Back

Frequency is the number of cycles of a wave that pass a point in one second, measured in Hertz (Hz). It is inversely related to the period.

How are Amplitude, Period, and Frequency related?

Back

Amplitude indicates the strength of the wave, while frequency and period are inversely related; as frequency increases, the period decreases.

What is a Series Circuit?

Back

A series circuit is a type of electrical circuit in which components are connected end-to-end, so that the current flows through each component in turn.

Front

What is a Parallel Circuit?

Back

A parallel circuit is an electrical circuit where components are connected across common points or junctions, allowing current to flow through multiple paths.

Front

What happens to wave energy as frequency increases?

Back

As wave frequency increases, wave energy also increases.

What is Ultrasound Imaging?

Back

Ultrasound imaging is a medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of organs and structures inside the body.

How is an image formed in ultrasound imaging?

Back

An image is formed by the reflection of sound waves that bounce back to a probe when they hit boundaries between different tissues.
