Question

Name three characteristics which are used to describe oscillations (or vibrations).

Answer 1

Answer:

phase amplitute velocity

Explanation:

Answer 2

Frequency, Amplitude, Phase

Explanation:

Any vibration has two measurable quantities. How far (amplitude or intensity), and how fast (frequency) the object moves helps determine its vibrational characteristics. The terms used to describe this movement are frequency, amplitude and phase.

The frequency of oscillation definition is simply the number of oscillations performed by the particle in one second.  

Amplitude is the magnitude of change in the oscillating variable with each oscillation within an oscillating system.  

The phase of an oscillation or signal refers to a sinusoidal function.
