I was reading about waves and i found that we can describe wave properties by using a unit circle.Now when partical completes its one revolution on that circle we say that the time it has taken is time period T,the distance it covers is its wavelength for example if radius of circle is one unit then wavelength = 2*pai*1.Now i want to ask somthing about amplitude,is the amplitude equals to the radius of the circle? If it is correct then i conclude that waves having same amplitude must having same wavelength i.e when we change amplitude we actually change the radius of the circle which in turn change the wavelength as wavelength=2*pai*radius.If i am wrong please clear my doubt about wavelength and amplitude. thanks
Re: What is the relationship between amplitude and wavelength?
