A magnitude 6 earthquake emits roughly 31 times more energy than a magnitude 5 earthquake. The magnitude 6 quake will also have a maximum seismic wave amplitude of ten times the magnitude 5 earthquake.
Every change of 1 on the Richter scale increases the amplitude of the measured seismic waves of the earthquake by a factor of 10 and the energy released scales with the shaking amplitude based on the following: Change in energy released = (10^Md)^(3/2) Where Md = difference in magnitude between two earthquakes (in the example above this is 3.0) Therefore a magnitude 6.0 earthquake releases (10^3.0)^(3/2) = 31,622 times more nergy than a magnitude 3.0 earthquake and has seismic waves with 1000 times larger amplitude.
A magnitude 6.0 earthquake is about 1.4 times stronger than a magnitude 5.9.
displacement is the vector quantity and the distance is scalar quantity, displacement is the shortest distance between two points.
Three magnitudes, and the 12th magnitude star is the brighter star. Mathematically it means the brightness difference is about: 2.512 x 2.512 x 2.512. That's about 15.85 times brighter.
The Richter magnitude scale is a base-10 logarithmic scale of the shaking amplitude. This means that a difference of 1 in the scale is equivalent to a 10-fold increase in amplitude. So the difference in amplitude between a mag 8 and a mag 4 earthquake is 104.
A magnitude 6 earthquake emits roughly 31 times more energy than a magnitude 5 earthquake. The magnitude 6 quake will also have a maximum seismic wave amplitude of ten times the magnitude 5 earthquake.
* The term peak amplitude, often shortened to amplitude, is the nonnegative value of the waveform's peak (either positive or negative). * The instantaneous amplitude of is the value of (either positive or negative) at time . * The instantaneous magnitude, or simply magnitude, of is nonnegative and is given by . ALSO Amplitude is the maximum displacement from equilibrium in a sinusoidal wave.Magnitude is just the value of something; typically refering to scalar quantities.
Amplitude means length between two successive compressions or rarefactions Wavelenth

No difference only magnitude
What is the difference between the contour and magnitude of single nerve fiber and nerve trunk?
Between crest and trought.
No.
The velocity of an object has two attributes, 1. its magnitude and 2. its direction. The difference betwen the velocity and the magnitude of the velocity is the direction!
Destructive interference lowers the amplitude, the lowest amplitude will be the difference between the two waves.
