What is maximum displacement of the wave from equilibrium called?
The term for maximum displacement is the amplitude of the wave.
What is an amplitude in sound?
Amplitude of a sound wave is the height between the peak (top most part of the wave) and the trough (bottom most part of the wave). So as the wave travels, say on a string, the highest the string or wave moves up minus the lowest the string or wave moves down is the "amplitude" of the wave.
How is the amplitude of a wave related to the wave?
Energy content of the wave is dependent on the amplitude of the wave
What controls the amplitude of a wave?
wellllll energy of the wave controls the amplitude of a wave
Why does the amplitude depend on the height of a wave?
This is just the definition of "amplitude". The amplitude of a wave is the height of the wave. "Amplitude" is a fancier name for "height" when we speak about waves.
What is the power in a triangle wave?
p=1/3(A)^2 where: p=power A=maximun amplitude

A wave with high amplitude does what?
what does a wave with high amplitude have

Which wave does most damage p wave or s wave?
A p wave because it can move so fast with more force. P waves cause little damage, they are compressional waves. They are at a higher frequency and a lower amplitude than surface waves which are shear waves. S-waves cause the most damage because they are slow moving and have an amplitude much greater than P-waves.

wellllll energy of the wave controls the amplitude of a wave

Does wave speed depend on wave amplitude?
No. Wave speed depends on frequency and wavelength, not amplitude.
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 does it mean when a wave has a large amplitude?
Bigger the amplitude, bigger the wave.
A amplitude of a wave related to?
Amplitude is related to the intensity because square of the amplitude is proportional to the intensity of the wave.
