Best Answer

Amplitude can be calculated from either of the following formulas x = asin(wt + ϕ) if the motion is along x-axis or y = acos(wt + ϕ) if the motion is along y-axis. Thus, amplitude is the the maximum extent of a vibration or oscillation, measured from the position of equilibrium.

How do you calculate the amplitude given the frequency and the wavelength?

Amplitude doesn't depend on frequency or wavelength, so even if you know them, you have no way to calculate amplitude.


Can amplitude calculate the frequency?

No. Amplitude and frequency of a wave are not related.Either one can change with no effect on the other one.


What will be the speed when amplitude and frequency is given?

In order to calculate the speed of a wave, you need to know the frequency and wavelength. Amplitude has no effect on the speed, so knowing the amplitude doesn't help.

A sound waves amplitude corresponds to the sounds what?

Usually, people are asking as if there is just "the" amplitude in sound waves in air. The loudness perception of a sound is determined by the amplitude of the sound waves − the higher the amplitude, the louder the sound. Which amplitude of sound (sound amplitude) do you mean? There are: amplitude of particle displacement ξ, or displacement amplitude amplitude of sound pressure p or pressure amplitude amplitude of sound particle velocity v, or particle velocity amplitude amplitude of pressure gradient Δ p, or pressure gradient amplitude. Furthermore, think of the amplitude of the oscillation of a string. The maximum magnitude of the deflection of a wave is called amplitude. Look at link: "What is an amplitude?"


How are the amplitudes of sound waves?

There is not only "one" amplitude. There is an amplitude of particle displacement ξ, or displacement amplitude, an amplitude of sound pressure p or pressure amplitude, an amplitude of sound particle velocity v, or particle velocity amplitude, an amplitude of pressure gradient Δ p, or pressure gradient amplitude. If the "sound" inceases, the "amplitude" also increases.


Amplitude is the speed of the wave?

No. Aplitude is the height of the wave. Frequency and wavelength can be used to calculate the speed of the wave by multiplying them together (if the units are appropriate).


What is maximum displacement of the wave from equilibrium called?

The term for maximum displacement is the amplitude of the wave.


How do you determine the ratio of an amplitude?

Amplitude ratio to dB conversion:For amplitude of waves like voltage, current and sound pressure level:GdB = 20 log10(A2 / A1)A2 is the amplitude level.A1 is the referenced amplitude level.GdB is the amplitude ratio or gain in dB.dB to amplitude ratio conversion:A2 = A1 · 10(GdB / 20)A2 is the amplitude level.A1 is the referenced amplitude level.GdB is the amplitude ratio or gain in dB.
