What Frequency response means in Physics A-Level, as defined for AQA.
Definition of Frequency response
Check what you remember
Read the wording for your board, then hide it and explain Frequency response in your own words. Rough notes are fine. This is a self-check, with no mark or grade.
Reference: AQA
The bandwidth is the range up to the 3 dB point, and typical units are hertz since gain is a dimensionless ratio and bandwidth is a frequency.
