Are sound waves are made up of chains and vibrating chains?
molecules
What is The external part of the ear that helps catch sound is the?
No part of the ear actually amplifies sound, but the middle ear changes the nature of the waves from high amplitude to low amplitude but stronger waves to make the transition from air to liquid.
Which is a property of light waves but not sound waves?
why cannot it be both? by definition, amplititude is the extreme range of fluctuating quantity. swing range of a pendulum, current flow,bla,bla,bla. amplitude MODULATION is in reference to radio waves with regards to signal RANGE ie: AM Radio- amplitude modulation am bounces and the range of frequency is modulated within the extreme band withs of the wave.
If four sound waves reached a source at the same time what do the waves wave do not have in common 1 amplitude 2 frequency 3speed 4 wavelenght?
First of all, sound waves propagate away from the source, not toward it.Next, if four sound waves reached the same point at the same time, there's no reasonwhy they couldn't all have the same amplitude, frequency, speed, and wavelength.Next question ?
Are higher freqeuncy sound waves louder?
No. They are higher pitched. Frequency determines pitch (the difference between the sound of a bass and a piccolo) but amplitude determines volume.
If a band is playing loudly will the amplitude of the sound waves be small or large?
The amplitude of the sound waves will be largerbecause the larger the amplitude the louderthe sound.
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 amplitude of a sound wave determine?
Amplitude is the volume of the sound in sound waves. The higher the Amplitude, the louder is the sound. Sound waves are pressure or compression waves in the material through which the sound is traveling. The pressure or compression waves also result in small longitudinal displacements of the atoms or molecules. The amplitude of the sound wave determines the range of variation of pressure, compression, or displacement.
What property of sound waves is related to the amplitude of the waves?
Loudness.
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.
Is the loudness of the sound its waves amplitude?
Yes.
Which of these associated with the loudness of sound waves?
Amplitude
What is intensity as it relates to sound waves?
Amplitude.
What does amplitude measure?
Sound energy travels in waves and is measured in frequency and amplitude
what is amplitude?
Amplitude refers to the amount by which something is displaced from the middle of its periodic motion. It can mean the maximum disturbance from the neutral position of a wave. It represents the intensity of a vibration, e.g. the loudness of a sound.
Which factor determine the loudness of a sound?
The amplitude of the sound waves in the medium.
What are properties of waves?
There are different kinds of wave, such as sound waves, electromagnetic waves, water waves etc. So the first property I would describe as the wave medium. Then you would have the additional properties of amplitude and frequency.
