What occurs when waves and combine?
If waves are going opposite directions: If the two waves have the same amplitude and frequency, they will cancel each other out, resulting in a flatline. If one has a greater amplitude, it will "absorb" the smaller one and the result will be a wave with amplitude of the difference between the two original waves, going in the direction of the first wave with greater amplitude. If they're going the same direction: If the waves have the same frequency and phase, the will simply add on to each other, resulting in a larger wave. If the two have the same frequency but different phase, some parts of the waves will be offset to result in a wave with different amplitude but same frequency (depending how off-phase the waves are). If they have the same frequency and exactly opposite phases, the two will offset into a flatline. If they have different frequency, then it will result in a completely different wave with different frequency, phase, and amplitude.
How is the loudness related to amplitude?
The higher the amplitude the greater is the psychoacoustic feeling of the loudness.
What has the greater energy sounds with the higher amplitude or sound wave with higher frequency?
Yes. And higher frequency means higher pitch. It is not pitch that produces loudness it only accentuates tone/ Loudness is controlled by volume of output.
How does the amplitude of a wave relate to its crests and trough?
The greater the amplitude, the higher the crests and lower the troughs.
The more what a mechanical wave has the greater its amplitude?

What is the relationship between a wave's amplitude and energy?
The energy and the amplitude are related in such a way that, the greater the amplitude the greater is the energy. The sound pressure amplitude tells about how loud the tone will be.
What is the relationship between the amplitude and the height of the wave?
amplitude is equal to one half of the wave height the greater the energy of the wave the greater its amplitude
What is the direct measure of energy from mechanical wave?
Amplitude is the direct measure of energy from a mechanical wave.=Waves are produced by something (a medium) vibrating. The farther the medium moves as it vibrates, the larger the amplitude of the resulting wave. For example, you can increase the amplitude of a wave on a rope by moving your hand up and down a greater distance. To do this you have to use more energy. The energy is transfered to the rope. The greater amplitude is a direct measure of the increased energy.=
What affects absolute brightness?
Brightness corresponds to amplitude of waves. Greater amplitude means greater brightness (so lower amplitude means less brightness).
How is the loudness related to amplitude?
The higher the amplitude the greater is the psychoacoustic feeling of the loudness.
What has the greater energy sounds with the higher amplitude or sound wave with higher frequency?
Yes. And higher frequency means higher pitch. It is not pitch that produces loudness it only accentuates tone/ Loudness is controlled by volume of output.
How does the amplitude of a wave relate to its crests and trough?
The greater the amplitude, the higher the crests and lower the troughs.
What happens to the volume of sound as the amplitude get larger?
The greater the amplitude of a sound wave the louder the sound.
What is an amplitude of a sound?
Amplitude is typically represented as being the "height" of a sound wave. A sound that is louder will have a greater amplitude than a quieter sound.
When two waves interface can the amplitude of the resultant wave be greater than either of the two original waves?
Yes. In some places it will be greater. In other places there will be destructive interference, and the resulting wave will be smaller than either, perhaps even zero.
What occurs when two or more waves overlap and combine?
They superpose. Energy of the waves are redistributed to form a resultant wave with amplitude given by the summation of individual wave's amplitude. If the two waves are of same frequency, speed and amplitude and travelling in opposite direction den stationary waves are form.
