If you or a blood relative have had a problem related to anesthesia or surgery, please let your anesthesiologist know. A thorough medical history and physical exam is, of course the most important information your anesthesiologist can receive.
Points C and J on the diagram represent the troughs of this wave. The trough of a wave is the point on the medium that exhibits the maximum amount of negative or downward displacement from the rest position. The wave shown above can be described by a variety of properties. One such property is amplitude. The amplitude of a wave refers to the maximum amount of displacement of a particle on the medium from its rest position. In a sense, the amplitude is the distance from rest to crest. Similarly, the amplitude can be measured from the rest position to the trough position.
Let's see what vocabulary is needed to discuss sinusoids and other trigonometric graphs. amplitude: The amplitude of a sinusoidal function is one-half of the positive difference between the maximum and minimum values of a function. Amplitude is the magnitude (height) of the oscillation (wave) of a sinusoidal function.Sometimes it is referred to as the peak from center of the graph.The maximum of y = sin x is 1. sine wave, or sinusoid, is the graph of the sine function in trigonometry. In addition to mathematics, this function also occurs in other fields of study such as science and engineering. This wave pattern also occurs in nature as seen in ocean waves, sound waves and light waves.
