Crossword clues for waveform
Wiktionary
n. 1 (context mathematics English) The shape of a wave function represented by a graph showing some dependent variable as function of an independent variable. 2 (context physics engineering English) The shape of a physical wave, such as sound, electric current or electromagnetic radiation, or its representation obtained by plot a charecteristic of the phenomenon (such as voltage) versus another variable, often time.

n. the shape of a wave illustrated graphically by plotting the values of the period quantity against time [syn: wave form, wave shape]
Wikipedia
A waveform is the shape and form of a signal such as a wave moving in a physical medium or an abstract representation.
In many cases the medium in which the wave propagates does not permit a direct observation of the true form. In these cases, the term "waveform" refers to the shape of a graph of the varying quantity against time. An instrument called an oscilloscope can be used to pictorially represent a wave as a repeating image on a screen.
To be more specific, a waveform is depicted by a graph that shows the changes in a recorded signal's amplitude over the duration of recording. The amplitude of the signal is measured on the y-axis (vertical), and time on the x-axis (horizontal).
Waveform is an action, puzzle game created by indie developer Eden Industries. The player controls a wave of light as it transmits through space and is able to modify the wave's amplitude and wavelength to line it up with objectives, avoid obstacles, and interact with objects that affect the path of the wave, and the world around it, in various ways.
Waveform is the debut game of Eden Industries, a six-man team. Eden Industries tried to gain funding via Kickstarter on November 9, 2011 and were asking for $8,000. The funding ended on January 3, 2012. They only reached $3,763 and therefore was unsuccessful.
