Given that action potentials traveling down the axon of a particular neuron are always the same amplitude how is a stronger stimulus communicated to the next cell in the neural pathway?
Mikechung
The strength of a stimulus is coded in the frequency of action potentials, not in the amplitude.

Does active transport require a membrane?
Active transport does require a carrier protein. Each protein is specific to one particular molecule.
The speed of sound traveling thruogh steel is much more than the speed traveling through air?
False

Traveling device Mount Tambora eruption?

Are the impulses traveling to the thalamus afferent or efferent?
Things traveling to a nucleus are afferents. Thalamus has afferents and efferents (things leaving it).
The frequency of electromagnetic energy traveling through a medium can change if what changes?
amplitude
Standing waves are produced by periodic waves of?
The same amplitude and wavelength traveling in the same direction
The frequency of electromagnetic energy traveling through a medium can change if any of the following change except?
Amplitude
When is a standing wave produced?
When waves equal in wavelength and amplitude, but traveling in opposite directions, continuously interfere with each other.
What is the particular name for people traveling in aeroplane?
Passengers
What does amplitude of a sound wave determine?
Amplitude is the volume of the sound in sound waves. The higher the Amplitude, the louder is the sound. Sound waves are pressure or compression waves in the material through which the sound is traveling. The pressure or compression waves also result in small longitudinal displacements of the atoms or molecules. The amplitude of the sound wave determines the range of variation of pressure, compression, or displacement.
How are beats produced?
When two or more sound waves are traveling at different frequencies and amplitude, there will be a time when these waves overlaps (superimpose) or cancel out each other. This will form a highest amplitude point and also a point where there is no displacement. This is called a beat.
Does the amplitude affect on the wavelength or wave speed?
No, the amplitude of a wave does not affect the wavelength or wave speed. The wavelength is determined by the frequency of the wave, while the wave speed is determined by the medium through which the wave is traveling. Amplitude simply represents the maximum displacement of particles in the wave.
what is amplitude?
Amplitude refers to the amount by which something is displaced from the middle of its periodic motion. It can mean the maximum disturbance from the neutral position of a wave. It represents the intensity of a vibration, e.g. the loudness of a sound.
What are the two parts to a transverse wave?
A wave is composed of an amplitude and a wavelength. A transverse wave contains oscillations perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling, for instance, a sine wave.
What Sound with the same pitch and loudness traveling in the same medium may differ in?
Sound of the same frequency and the same amplitude may differ in sound color or timbre.
What is the use of attenuator in microwave test bench?
variable attenuator in microwave test bench is used to attenuate the amplitude of wave traveling through d rectangular waveguide
