What does the amplitude of a light wave determine?
The amplitude of a light wave shows the light's brightness relative to waves of similar wavelength.
A light waves brightness depends on the?
amplitude of the light wave!
What property of light is reflected by the amplitude of a light wave?
brightness
What property of a wave corresponds to the brightness of light or how loud a sound is?
the amplitude
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.
What features of light corresponds to loudness in sound?
The property is the amplitude, which corresponds to loudness for a sound wave or brightness for a light wave.
What does the amplitude of a wave tell you?
Amount of energy in each wave. e.g. Loudness of sound, or Brightness of light Also the displacement of a wave.
What is the amplitude of a wave relate to?
the color of light radiating that heat from it feels good
Which wave characteristic is affected by the loudness or the intensity of sound?
Amplitude. (In the particle theory of light, brightness is determined by the number of photons).
What is the wave property that is relate to the height of the wave?
amplitude
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 does the brightness of light depend on?
The ultraviolet light contains photons of high energy. these are able to excite the atoms. which during the process of de-excitation can emit frequencies , which are detectable by normal eye. So it depends upon frequency of light..
