The top of a wave, because its cut in half and the waves amplitude is on top...

It is the distance between the peak (or trough) and the average level of the wave. In other words, it is half the difference between the peak and the trough.

All waves have amplitude.


If a band is playing loudly will the amplitude of the sound waves be small or large?

What is it called when the crest of two waves overlap and result in an increased wave amplitude?

Superimposing of waves is when two or more waves travel through the same medium and intersect. The net displacement is the addition of the waves amplitude. If they are in phase they increase amplitude; out of phase, the amplitude decreases.

Do P-waves have a higher amplitude than S-waves?

S-waves actually have a higher amplitude, despite being slower than P-waves. It is this amplitude that indicates stress, which is why S-waves can't travel through liquids, as liquids cannot support the stresses of S-waves


What is the amplitude of ultraviolet waves?

Ultraviolet waves can have different amplitudes, from very small to very large. There is no specific amplitude that they always have.

What property of sound waves is related to the amplitude of the waves?

Loudness.


A sound waves amplitude corresponds to the sounds what?

Usually, people are asking as if there is just "the" amplitude in sound waves in air. The loudness perception of a sound is determined by the amplitude of the sound waves − the higher the amplitude, the louder the sound. Which amplitude of sound (sound amplitude) do you mean? There are: amplitude of particle displacement ξ, or displacement amplitude amplitude of sound pressure p or pressure amplitude amplitude of sound particle velocity v, or particle velocity amplitude amplitude of pressure gradient Δ p, or pressure gradient amplitude. Furthermore, think of the amplitude of the oscillation of a string. The maximum magnitude of the deflection of a wave is called amplitude. Look at link: "What is an amplitude?"


What does the amplitude of a wave depend on?

In the case of sound, amplitude is related to volume or loudness.- loud sounds generate waves of larger amplitude and your ear would register sound waves of large amplitude as louder.


Do electromagnetic waves have amplitude?
