What happens to the volume of a sound wave as its amplitude decrease?
You mean by the word 'volume' the intensity of sound wave. Intensity is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude.
What happens to the intensity of a wave if the amplitude decreases?
Intensity of a wave is proportional to the frequency squared and amplitude squared based on this formula; I=1/2pw^2A^2V where p is the density of the medium, w is the angular frequency and A is the amplitude and V is the wave velocity. So, everything else remaining constant, decreasing the amplitude will decrease a waves intensity. Example decreasing the the amplitude by a factor of 4 will decrease the wave intensity by a factor of 8.
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.
When the frequency of a wave increases the energy will?
If the power is constant, the amplitude will decrease.
What property of a wave increases as the waves energy inceases?
An increase in energy corresponds to an increase in frequency or a decrease in wavelength.

A amplitude of a wave related to?
Amplitude is related to the intensity because square of the amplitude is proportional to the intensity of the wave.
What property of a wave increases as the waves energy inceases?
An increase in energy corresponds to an increase in frequency or a decrease in wavelength.
What do we see that the amplitude of a wave produces?
The amplitude of a wave produces the intensity of the wave. With a light wave, it is the intensity of the light, with a sound wave, it is how loud the sound is
The measure of a waves intensity?
The measure of the intensity of a wave is referred to as its amplitude.
How does the amplitude affect the energy of a wave?
The intensity will increase if the energy increase. The intensity is proportional to the square of the amplitude of a wave.
What is the formula of wave intensity?
Not sure what formula you are looking for. Wave intensity is given by the amplitude of the wave.
Which property of the wave makes it louder - high amplitude or high frequency?
Amplitude as it becomes higher then loudness increases. Frequency does not change the intensity any way.
What describes the amplitude of a wave?
The square of the amplitude gives the intensity of the wave. Intensity in case of sound is sensed as loudness and in case of light as brightness.
