Wave amplitude formula_4 described by the equation: where The units of the amplitude depend on the type of wave. Transverse mechanical waves (e.g., a wave on a string) have an amplitude expressed as a distance (e.g., meters), longitudinal mechanical waves (e.g., sound waves) use units of pressure (e.g., pascals), and electromagnetic waves (a form of transverse vacuum wave) express the amplitude in terms of its electric field (e.g., volts/meter). The wavelength formula_30 is the distance between two sequential crests or troughs (or other equivalent points), generally is measured in meters. A wavenumber formula_17, the spatial frequency of the wave in radians
Coda Wave Interferometry The unperturbed travel time is given by formula_8 where formula_9 is the coda wave velocity. The perturbed travel time is formula_10 where formula_11 is the velocity perturbation. Thus formula_12 . If the relative velocity perturbation is assumed constant, then formula_13 where t is the center time of the employed time window. Thus, the travel time perturbation depends on the arrival time of the coda wave, but not of the particular path followed. Coda Wave Interferometry Coda Wave Interferometry is an ultrasound technique for detection of weak and local changes in complex inhomogeneous media. Sound waves that travel through a medium
