WHAT DOES SINE WAVE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Sine wave

The sine wave or sinusoid is a mathematical curve that describes a smooth repetitive oscillation. It is named after the function sine, of which it is the graph. It occurs often in pure and applied mathematics, as well as physics, engineering, signal processing and many other fields. Its most basic form as a function of time is: where: ▪ A, the amplitude, is the peak deviation of the function from zero. ▪ f, the ordinary frequency, is the number of oscillations that occur each second of time. ▪ ω = 2πf, the angular frequency, is the rate of change of the function argument in units of radians per second ▪ , the phase, specifies where in its cycle the oscillation is at t = 0. ▪ When is non-zero, the entire waveform appears to be shifted in time by the amount /ω seconds. A negative value represents a delay, and a positive value represents an advance. The oscillation of an undamped spring-mass system around the equilibrium is a sine wave.

Definition of sine wave in the English dictionary

The definition of sine wave in the dictionary is any oscillation, such as a sound wave or alternating current, whose waveform is that of a sine curve.
