Wave per unit distance (typically per meter), can be associated with the wavelength by the relation The period formula_33 is the time for one complete cycle of an oscillation of a wave. The frequency formula_34 is the number of periods per unit time (per second) and is typically measured in hertz denoted as Hz. These are related by: In other words, the frequency and period of a wave are reciprocals. The angular frequency formula_28 represents the frequency in radians per second. It is related to the frequency or period by The wavelength formula_30 of a sinusoidal waveform traveling at constant speed
What Is This Thing Called Love? (short story) What Is This Thing Called Love? (short story) "What Is This Thing Called Love?" is a science fiction short story by Isaac Asimov. The story was requested by Cele Goldsmith Lalli, editor of "Amazing Stories", as a satire of an article in "Playboy" called "Girls of the Slime God" which had suggested that pulp science fiction stories were concerned with aliens and sex. The story appeared in the March 1961 issue of "Amazing" as "Playboy and the Slime God", but Asimov later retitled it "What Is This Thing Called Love?" According to Asimov, in "1938-39 ... for some half a
