The following is a historic photo gallery of Coast Guard icebreakers, showing some of the differing types of vessels that have seen service with the Coast Guard icebreaking fleet. We hope that you will enjoy this gallery of images of some of the largest ships that have ever served with the Coast Guard.
The distance from the top of one peak to the bottom of another is called peak-to-peak amplitude. Another way to describe peak-to-peak amplitude is to say that it is the distance between the maximum positive value and the maximum negative value of a wave. Waves and their properties:
Regardless of the kind, every wave has an amplitude. Amplitude is the maximum displacement of points on a wave, which you can think of as the degree or intensity of change. This maximum displacement is measured from the equilibrium position. The picture below shows a diagram of a sine wave.here is also no way to determine the amplitude of a wave from the frequency, or to determine the frequency simply by knowing the amplitude of the wave. This is shown in the pictures below. The first picture illustrates two waves with the same amplitude, but different frequencies.
