crest amplitude

• Amplitude — is the magnitude of change in the oscillating variable, with each oscillation, within an oscillating system. For instance, sound waves are oscillations in atmospheric pressure and their amplitudes are proportional to the change in pressure during …   Wikipedia

• Crest (physics) — A crest is the point on a wave with the maximum value or upward displacement within a cycle. A trough is the opposite of a crest, so the minimum or lowest point in a cycle.[1] …   Wikipedia

• Crest factor — The crest factor or peak to average ratio (PAR) or peak to average power ratio (PAPR) is a measurement of a waveform, calculated from the peak amplitude of the waveform divided by the RMS value of the waveform. It is therefore a dimensionless… …   Wikipedia

• Breaking wave — In physics, a breaking wave is a wave whose amplitude reaches a critical level at which some process can suddenly start to occur that causes large amounts of wave energy to be dissipated. At this point, simple physical models describing the… …   Wikipedia

• Cnoidal wave — US Army bombers flying over near periodic swell in shallow water, close to the Panama coast (1933). The sharp crests and very flat troughs are characteristic for cnoidal waves. In fluid dynamics, a cnoidal wave is a nonlinear and exact periodic… …   Wikipedia

• Interference — In physics, interference is the addition (superposition) of two or more waves that result in a new wave pattern.As most commonly used, the term interference usually refers to the interaction of waves which are correlated or coherent with each… …   Wikipedia

• Interference (wave propagation) — Two point interference in a ripple tank. In physics, interference is the phenomenon in which two waves superpose each other to form a resultant wave of greater or lower amplitude. Interference usually refers to the interaction of waves that are… …   Wikipedia
