What waves have the highest amount of energy?
The waves having the hightest amplitude, then it has the hightest Energy.
How do you increase the energy of waves?
By increasing its amplitude and/or frequency.
Do the energy of a mechanical wave depends on the frequency of the wave?
Yes, energy transfer for mechanical waves is dependant on frequency as well as amplitude. Energy of electromagnetic waves, however, does not rely on frequency but solely on amplitude.
How does a waves energy affect its amplitude?
How is the energy of the wave affected if the amplitude of the wave increases form 2 meters to 4 meters
What is the relationship between a waves frequency and its energy?
The greater the energy,the larger the frequency&the shorter (smaller) the wavelength.Given the relationship between wavelength&frequency - the higher the frequency,the shorter the wavelength-it follows that short wavelengths are more energetic than long wavelengths.
When you are comparing the energy of different waves you measure what of the waves?
Amplitude.
What does it mean when a waves amplitude increase?
Amplitude is the measure of a wave's energy; therefore, to increase amplitude, the energy being applied to the waves must be increased.
What waves have the highest amount of energy?
The waves having the hightest amplitude, then it has the hightest Energy.
Waves with the greater amplitudes carry MORE OR LESS energy than waves with smaller amplitudes?
Wave with higher amplitude carry more energy than wave with lower amplitude. For simple consideration, no amplitude is no wave and thus no energy but just a flat surface of water. Wave with amplitude must have higher energy than the no wave.
What does amplitude measure?
Sound energy travels in waves and is measured in frequency and amplitude
How do you increase the energy of waves?
By increasing its amplitude and/or frequency.
Why are Love waves and Rayleigh waves more destructive than P-waves and S-waves?
Love and Rayleigh waves are also known as surface waves as they travel along the surface of the earth. As the earth's surface is a free boundary, these surface waves have a larger amplitude than P and S (or body waves)which travel through the earth's interior. The amplitude of a wave is related to the amount of energy it has, where high amplitude waves have more energy! This means that the high amplitude high energy surface waves are capable of transferring more energy into structures or other objects on the surface and so can do more damage.
Do the energy of a mechanical wave depends on the frequency of the wave?
Yes, energy transfer for mechanical waves is dependant on frequency as well as amplitude. Energy of electromagnetic waves, however, does not rely on frequency but solely on amplitude.
When a waves' amplitude increases does the frequency change?
Velocity of wave = frequency * wavelength (the universal wave equation does not involve amplitude) There is no direct relationship between the amplitude and the wavelength of a wave and therefore if the amplitude increases the wavelength will not necessarily change.
How does a waves energy affect its amplitude?
How is the energy of the wave affected if the amplitude of the wave increases form 2 meters to 4 meters
What is the relationship between a waves frequency and its energy?
The greater the energy,the larger the frequency&the shorter (smaller) the wavelength.Given the relationship between wavelength&frequency - the higher the frequency,the shorter the wavelength-it follows that short wavelengths are more energetic than long wavelengths.
What is the relationship between amplitude and waves?
In a sinusoidal wave amplitude is the height of the crest and frequency is the no. of oscillations per second.Hence,amplitude remains same for any change in frequency.-No relation.
