Amplitude can be determined as the change between the highest point (the peak) to the lowest point (the trough) of the wave.

What indicates the amplitude of the wave?

The amplitude of a compressional wave, like a sound wave, is determined by the concentration of molecules in each compression. The higher the amplitude, or energy that a wave carries, the more compact the molecules are in a compression. The lower the amplitude, the more spread out those particles are. the amplitude of a compressional wave,like a sound wave,is determined by the contretration of waves in a compression


What is determined by amplitude of a sound wave?

the strength or volume of the sound wave :)

Which property of a mechanical wave is determined by the energy that the wave carries?

Height OR amplitude.


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.


Is the amplitude of a sound wave determined by the sounds pitch?

yes because amplitude is based an the pitch of the sound

Amplitude


Sentence using science word frequency and wave length and amplitude?

The Wave lenght of a pulsation can be determined by dividing its velocity by its frequency, the amplitude is not involved in the calculation.


How can the loudness of a sound be determined by the waves?

The loudness of a sound (or intensity) corresponds to the sound wave's amplitude. The amplitude of a wave is the distance from the midpoint of the wave to a high-point (crest) or low-point (trough).


Which two wave properties can be determined from a distance graph of a continuous wave as it propagrates?

amplitude and wavelength (Adaptive Curriculum)


How can you show the difference between pitch and loudness?

In terms of a wave, the pitch of a sound is determined by its frequency, which is also in inverse proportion to its wavelength. The loudness/volume of a sound is determined by the amplitude of the wave. Both higher frequency and higher amplitude signify more energy in a wave.


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).
