Instantaneous value (by time)

v = Vmaxsinwt

Instantaneous value (by phase)

v = AmaxSin ()

where w = 2

Eg a sinewave has a frequency of 1.5kHz,

And a peak value of 3.3v
What are the instantaneous values at
i.
t = 1.2mS
ii.
t = 0.65S
degrees

How big is sound?

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