Conversation

I was reading about different types of waveforms today.

Oh really? What did you learn about them?

I found out that some waves are isochronous, which means they repeat at regular intervals.

That sounds interesting! I never knew there were such specific terms for wave patterns.

Root Explanation

Isochronous → It is formed from "iso-" (from Greek "isos", meaning equal) and "chronous" (from Greek "chronos", meaning time). The word describes events that occur at equal intervals of time.

Memory Tip

Think of 'equal' ('iso-') time intervals when remembering that 'isochronous' refers to things happening at the same time.
