Round 4: Tossup 15

This quantity is typically shown on the x-axis of a Bode plot. Two values of this quantity are added and subtracted to yield “heterodynes.” Values of this quantity in the stopband of “band reject” devices are attenuated. For an RLC circuit, this quantity is inversely proportional to the square root of LC. Values of this quantity below a specific “cutoff” value are removed (15[1])by high-pass filters. (15[1]-5[1])(*) Phasors have fixed values of this quantity describing the speed at which they move. The domain corresponding to this quantity is the output of a Fourier transform. The sine of this quantity times time appears in laws describing AC circuits. For 10 points, name this quantity measured (-5[1])in Hertz. (10[1])■END■ (10[1])
