Attenuator -

: Devices or natural processes that reduce the amplitude of sound waves , ultrasound beams , or X-rays as they pass through different media.

: Electronic components (like potentiometers or microstrip attenuators ) that reduce the power of an electrical signal without distorting its waveform. attenuator

: Safety systems, such as impact attenuators in race cars (e.g., Formula SAE), designed to absorb kinetic energy during a crash to protect the driver. : Devices or natural processes that reduce the

: Devices used in wave energy converters to harness power from oceanic waves while attenuating wave height. attenuator
