Sine Relation To The Circle: Sin Opposite / Hypotenuse

This document discusses the relationship between sine and triangles, mapping the properties of a sine wave including period, wavelength, amplitude, phase and displacement. It provides equations to calculate the instantaneous value of a sine wave by time or phase. An example calculates the instantaneous values of a 1.5kHz sine wave with a peak of 3.3v at specific time points. Finally, it notes that sound size is generally equated to loudness but wavelength is also important, listing the wavelength of 20Hz and 20kHz sounds.

degrees

How big is sound?


* We generally equate the size of sound to
loudness
* Another important dimension is wavelength:
20Hz = ?
20kHz =?
