Where does the energy of a wave go when the amplitude of the wave decreases?
If the amplitude decreases the energy in the wave also decreases. The energy that was in the wave before the amplitude was decreased will have been absorbed into the surroundings, be they physical objects in the case of sound waves, or an electrical circuit or light absorbing material, to suggest a few different cases.
What part of a sound wave changes as its energy decreases?
The amplitude decreases I found the answer at yahoo
What happens to the amplitude of the wave if the energy increases?
what happens to the amplitude of a wave when the energy increases
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.
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.
What happens when the amplitude of a light wave decreases?
It becomes weaker.

What happens to the wave and color of the wave when you increase or decrease the amplitude?
You seem to be talking about a light wave. If you increase the amplitude the light gets brighter, and if you decrease it gets dimmer. Amplitude has no effect on colour.
What happens to the wave and the color of the wave when you increase or decrease the amplitude?
You seem to be talking about a light wave. If you increase the amplitude the light gets brighter, and if you decrease it gets dimmer. Amplitude has no effect on colour.

How does spacing of particles in a sound wave change as the amplitude of the wave decrease?
When you space out the wave the amplitude decreases because when the particles are packed closer and closer each time the wave amplitude decreases.

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 wave decreases.
