What happens when a wave amplitude interferes with another wave amplitude of the same frequency?
They could undergo constructive interference in which the amplitudes of the two waves combine. For example, a wave with an amplitude of 2 units overlaps with another wave with an amplitude of 2 units, the overlapping amplitude will be 4 units. They could also undergo destructive interference in which the amplitude of one wave is 2 units and the amplitude of the second wave is -2 units. At the point where they meet, the combined amplitude will be zero.
Symbol for amplitude is small a or big a?
small a
Amplitude is the speed of the wave?
No. Aplitude is the height of the wave. Frequency and wavelength can be used to calculate the speed of the wave by multiplying them together (if the units are appropriate).
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 is maximum displacement of the wave from equilibrium called?
The term for maximum displacement is the amplitude of the wave.

What unit is used to measure the amplitude of an ECG?
µmmicrometerfrom wikipedia "A micrometre is one-millionth of a metre (1/1000 of a millimetre, or 0.001mm). Its unit symbol in the International System of Units (SI) is μm"
When describing waves what does amplitude refer to?
The amplitude is the maximum amount it sways from the neutral position. If it oscillates about zero, then it would vary from a value of +A to -A, where A is the maximum Amplitude. The units of A will be determined by the type of wave.
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.
What are the units and symbol for dipole moment?
debyes
What is the SI units for time and what is its symbol?
The S unit for time is the second and the symbol is s.
What is the difference between wavelenghtand amplitude?
The wavelength is the distance the wave travels before repeating in meters. The amplitude of the wave is the deflection from peak to trough in units of the wave value, e.g electric field or velocity.
What does the energy symbol w mean?
The energy unit is Joule for which the symbol is J. Imperial units for energy do not have the symbol W, either.
What are the 4 units for temperatures?
The basic unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI) is the kelvin. It has the symbol K.FahrenheitKelvinRankineDelisleNewtonRéaumurRømer
What is the teperature measure for the SI units?
Kelvin is the SI units temperature measurer. the symbol is a capital k, K
