Do electromagnetic waves have amplitude?
Yes.
Scale that measures amplitude of waves?
That depends a lot on the type of waves you want to measure. For waves on water, you would measure the amplitude in meters, for sound waves you would use pressure units, for electromagnetic waves you would use either electric or magnetic units, etc.
How do you measure amplitude in a longitudinal wave?
You measure the displacement in the waves high.
The intensity of light waves is a measure of what?
The intensity of light waves is a measure of the energy that is carried by the waves. Light waves are electromagnetic waves.
How do electromagnetic waves carry sound as electrical signals?
The electromagnetic wave is "modulated" (changed) to represent the signal. For example, in AM (amplitude modulation), the strength (amplitude) of the wave is increased or decreased, according to the signal.
Do electromagnetic waves have amplitude?
Yes.
The measure of a waves intensity?
The measure of the intensity of a wave is referred to as its amplitude.
When you are comparing the energy of different waves you measure what of the waves?
Amplitude.
What does amplitude measure?
Sound energy travels in waves and is measured in frequency and amplitude

How can you measure the speed of ocean waves?
to measure the amplitude, you measure from the trough to midline.

You measure the displacement in the waves high.

Do the energy of a mechanical wave depends on the frequency of the wave?
Yes, energy transfer for mechanical waves is dependant on frequency as well as amplitude. Energy of electromagnetic waves, however, does not rely on frequency but solely on amplitude.
What does all these words have in common wavelength waves frequency and amplitude?
All electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed in a vacuum, but they have different wavelengths and different frequenciesSource- IS textbook 7th gradeHow do Electromagnetic Waves compare? from this received answers
What are the three features of waves that are used to measure them?
The three features of waves includes the wavelength, amplitude, and frequency.
