The RMS velocity is exactly what is sounds like, it is the square root of the mean velocity of all the particles within a system. How one would determine the RMS depends very much on the system that one is dealing with.
Peak amplitude
In audio system measurements, telecommunications and other areas where the measurand is a signal that swings above and below a zero value but is not sinusoidal, peak amplitude is often used. This is the absolute value of the signal.
Peak-to-peak amplitude
Peak-to-peak amplitude is the measure of the change between peak (highest amplitude value) and trough (lowest amplitude value, which can be negative). Peak-to-peak amplitudes can be measured by meters with appropriate circuitry, or by viewing the waveform on an oscilloscope. Peak-to-peak is a straightforward measurement to make on an oscilloscope, the peaks of the waveform being easily identified and measured against the graticule. It remains a common way of specifying amplitude but sometimes other measures of amplitude are more appropriate.
FREQUENCY is the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit time. It is also referred to as temporal frequency. The period is the duration of one cycle in a repeating event, so the period is the reciprocal of the frequency. Loosely speaking, 1 year is the period of the Earth's orbit around the Sun, and the Earth's rotation on its axis has a frequency of 1 rotation per day.
In physics, the WAVE LENGTH of a sinusoidal wave is the spatial period of the wave – the distance over which the wave's shape repeats. It is usually determined by considering the distance between consecutive corresponding points of the same phase, such as crests, troughs, or zero crossings, and is a characteristic of both traveling waves and standing waves, as well as other spatial wave patterns.
