Textbook Question
Chapter 28, Problem 40P
Electroencephalography (EEG) elucidates brain function by analyzing brain waves, AC voltages resulting from electrical activity in the brain. Alpha waves are brain waves with frequencies from 7.5 Hz to 12.5 Hz. A particular alpha wave has frequency 9.84 Hz and rms amplitude 31.8 μV. Express this voltage in the form of Equation 28.3, assuming zero phase constant.
