How can you change the amplitude of the wave?
By increasing the frequency and decreasing the wavelength for more energy.
How will decreasing the amplitude of the sound waves from a TV affect its intensity?
Amplitude is intensity. It refers to the strength of a sound wave, which the human ear interprets as volume or loudness and if you decrease the amplitude you also decrease its intensity.
What waves have the most light waves?
Light wave is an electromagnetic wave, so light waves are a kind of wave. I don't understand what you mean by what waves have the most light waves. It's not possible to emit a combination of different kinds of waves (such mechanical, EM wave, sound wave) from a single source.
What is an amplitude in sound?
Amplitude of a sound wave is the height between the peak (top most part of the wave) and the trough (bottom most part of the wave). So as the wave travels, say on a string, the highest the string or wave moves up minus the lowest the string or wave moves down is the "amplitude" of the wave.
What types of waves are associated with the Doppler effect?
The Doppler effect is most noticed when it comes to three types of waves. They are water waves, sound waves and light waves.
How can you change the amplitude of the wave?
By increasing the frequency and decreasing the wavelength for more energy.
Do surface waves or secondary waves cause the most damage in an earthquake?
Surface waves cause the most damage because they have the highest amplitude of all the types of seismic wave.
How will decreasing the amplitude of the sound waves from a TV affect its intensity?
Amplitude is intensity. It refers to the strength of a sound wave, which the human ear interprets as volume or loudness and if you decrease the amplitude you also decrease its intensity.
The most destructive seismic wave are .?
The Surface waves (of which there are two - the Love and Rayleigh waves) are the most destructive seismic waves as they have the largest amplitude.Surface waves cause the most damage as they have the largest amplitude of all the seismic waves.S Wave.yhuk
Which wave does most damage p wave or s wave?
A p wave because it can move so fast with more force. P waves cause little damage, they are compressional waves. They are at a higher frequency and a lower amplitude than surface waves which are shear waves. S-waves cause the most damage because they are slow moving and have an amplitude much greater than P-waves.

What waves have the most light energy?
visible light
What is an amplitude in sound?

What is a polarimeter most commonly used for?
Polarimetry is the measurement and interpretation of transverse waves. The most common polarimetry waves are electromagnetic waves (e.g. radio or light waves).
What do you mean by intensity value?
The word "intensity" can be synonymous with "strength", "amplitude", or "level", as it sometimes is in colloquial speech. It is possible to define the intensity of the water coming from a garden sprinkler, but intensity is used most frequently with waves - i.e. sound or light.
Which seismic waves travel along earth's surface and produce the most severe ground movement?
Broadly, the surface waves of which there are two main types. The Love and Rayleigh wave. Rayleigh waves have the largest amplitude of the surface waves and so cause the majority of damage.
