can sombody here tell me the roots of the words:?

Question

amplitude, decibel, frequency, intensity, pitch, viberation, acoustic, and physics?

Answer 1

The study of words, I understand, is known as "etymology." I invite you to check those puppies out at the below link.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Amplitude is used in mathematics as a term for size or magnitude. The origin is the same Indo-European ple root that gives us plus and complement. The Latin source was amplus for wide. Today the word is used to describe the distance a periodic function varies from its central value, and the magnitude of a complex number.

From Get Wise: Mastering Vocabulary Skills The root word for Decibel, should be "dec".

From the same source root for freguency should be "reg"

from the same sourse root for intensity should be "tens"

from the same sourse root for pitch should be "it"

That's all I can help you with, perhaps the software download below will help.

Answer 3

Don't be so lazy look them up. Here is one to get you started.
The bel (symbol B) is mostly used in telecommunication, electronics, and acoustics. Invented by engineers of the Bell Telephone Laboratory to quantify the reduction in audio level over a 1 mile (1.6 km) length of standard telephone cable, it was originally called the transmission unit or TU, but was renamed in 1923 or 1924 in honor of the laboratory's founder and telecommunications pioneer Alexander Graham Bell.

The bel was too large for everyday use, so the decibel (dB), equal to 0.1 bel (B), became more commonly used. The bel is still used to represent noise power levels in hard drive specifications. The Richter scale uses numbers expressed in bels as well, though they are not labeled with a unit. In spectrometry and optics, the absorbance unit used to measure optical density is equivalent to −1 B. In astronomy, the apparent magnitude measures the brightness of stars logarithmically, since just as the ear responds logarithmically to acoustic power, the eye responds logarithmically to brightness.

Answer 4

The best way to approach this problem is with a good dictionary; they show the etymologies of words. You can as easily look up the words yourself as I can type in origins, so go for it.

Answer 5

* frequency - latin frequens and t and -iafrequency
* pitch - old English pic from Latin pix
*vibration - latin vibrare 'move to and fro'.
* acoustic - Greek ακουστικος < ακούω which means "hear"
*physics - Greek, φύσις (phúsis), "nature" and φυσικός (phusikós), "natural"
*amplitude - latin amplitd, from amplus, large.
* decibel - deci(from Latin decimus, tenth, from decem, ten)– + bel(after Alexander Graham Bell)
* intensity - Greek ένταση < εν+τείνω meaning high level or degree;heightening
