and described by the formula: where A is the amplitude of oscillation, f is the frequency, t is the elapsed time, and is the phase of the oscillation. The phase determines or is determined by the initial displacement at time t = 0. A motion with frequency f has period. Two potential ambiguities can be noted:
Incubation Period Shingles is not transmitted from exposure to another infected person so there is no applicable incubation period. Anyone who has recovered from varicella may develop shingles. Mode of Transmission Transmission of the virus occurs through direct contact with the rash or fluid from the lesions.
As a result, 87.4% of infected individuals remain unaware of their infection. 24 When symptoms do occur, they typically appear as one or more vesicles on or around the genitals, rectum or mouth. The average incubation period after exposure is 4 days (range, 2 to 12).5 The vesicles break and leave painful ulcers that may take two to four weeks to heal.4 When symptoms do occur, they typically appear as one or more vesicles on or around the genitals, rectum or mouth.
