What is based on measurements of amplitudes of seismic waves?
The magnitude of an earthquake is based on measurements of amplitudes of seismic waves. This measurement provides an indication of the energy released at the earthquake's source.
What is a measurement of the waves?
frequency
The Richter magnitude of an earthquake is determined from the .?
measurement of the amplitude of the largest seismic waves
What gives waves their energy?
Waves get their energy from the wind. The stronger the wind, the more energy the waves will have. If there is less wind, the waves will have less energy.
What are two kinds of energy that travels in waves?
Kinetic and electromagnetic energy can travel in waves.
What are two types of energy that travel in waves?
Take your pick: water waves, sound waves, electromagnetic waves, gravitational waves.
Are waves a source of energy?
waves is not a source of energy
Is sound an energy?
Sounds are waves and waves have energy.
What is the energy of electromagnetic waves?
The energy of electromagnetic waves is carried by photons, which are particles of light. The energy of electromagnetic waves increases as the frequency of the waves increases.
What is transferred in waves?
Energy is transferred in waves. As a wave travels, it carries energy from one place to another without transporting matter. Examples of waves that transfer energy include sound waves, light waves, and seismic waves.
What is the units of measurement for energy?
As for any energy, Joules are the unit of measurement
Can waves carry energy and matter?
Waves can carry energy but not matter. In the case of mechanical waves, such as water waves or sound waves, the energy is transferred through the movement of the medium's particles. In contrast, electromagnetic waves, like light waves, can travel through a vacuum and transfer energy without the need for a medium.
