The Internet has many places to ask questions about anything imaginable and find past answers on almost everything.
Amplitude is an important parameter of waves and is the maximum displacement of points on a wave. Stated another way, amplitude is the vertical distance between a peak or a valley and the equilibrium point. Frequency is the number of wave cycles passing a point per unit time.
The amplitude of a wave is related to the amount of energy it carries. A high amplitude wave carries a large amount of energy; a low amplitude wave carries a small amount of energy. As the amplitude of the sound wave increases, the intensity of the sound increases.
Larger amplitude means more energy.
A sound wave of over 20,000 cycles per seconds is inaudible to humans. What does “inaudible” mean? What would a wave with a low amplitude sound like? It would sound quiet.
A wave transports its energy without transporting matter. Waves are seen to move through an ocean or lake; yet the water always returns to its rest position. Energy is transported through the medium, yet the water molecules are not transported.
Wave energy is actually a concentrated form of solar power generated by the action of the wind blowing across the surface of the oceans water which can then be used as a renewable source of energy. As the suns rays strike the Earth’s atmosphere, they warm it up.
A “wave” of technology is common parlance for describing the wide-scale dispersal of new automation, mechanics or applied science. Technological waves are hard to predict yet often leave an indelible impact on a particular aspect of culture, industry and medicine.
1. First-wave technologies, comprising the pre-industrial technologies which are labour-intensive, small-scale, decentralized, and based on empirical rather than scientific knowledge.
These innovation waves are generated by three technological advances: the internet, artificial intelligence (AI), and decentralized blockchain technology. The internet has made information “free”. AI is making expertise “free”.
All progressive lenses have distortions caused by changes in curvature across the lens surface. These distortions reduce the perception of contrast and sharpness. W.A.V.E. Technology 2 enables Varilux® lens designers to analyze an entire beam of light as it passes through the lens.
