Archive 'Amplitude'

The circuits we have looked at so far involve components such as resistances, capacitors, and inductors. Until tensions and currents remain continuous, in other words, have a constant amplitude level, resistance, capacity and inductance values keep constant.

This is perhaps the most important part in order to fully understand the nature of sound. A mathematical approach to this subject can become extremely complicated , so in our case it will suffice to hint at the main concepts leaving out the kind of detail one would expect perhaps in the scientific field.

In the previous paragraph we saw how the flow of atmospheric pressure in relation to the active loudspeaker can be visualized as a waveform. Waveforms can actually be very complicated, but fortunately every single one of them, and I mean every single one, can be considered as an extension of a very simple wave form: the sinusoid
