What would a wave look like if it had the same amplitude but a longer wavelength?

If it's waves in the ocean, they would be farther apart with the same height. If it's sound waves, the sound would be just as loud but with a lower pitch. If it's light waves, the light would be just as bright but its color would be shifted toward the red end of the visible light spectrum.

What does the amplitude look like for a soft sound?
Amplitude is how loud it is. So a soft sound would have a small amplitude. Frequency is the pitch of the sound. High sounds have high frequency. Wavelength is the type of sound. Music wavelengths are in harmony. Changing the wavelength gives us the different words etc that we make.
What does quiet sound look like?
It has a lover amplitude then louder sounds. (The wavelength doesn't change, but the hight of it shortens)
The speed of a wave is its wavelength multiplied by its what?
The speed of light is fairly constant. 3.0X10^8 meters per second. Sounds' speed varies with conditions , but like light it is not changed by wavelength/frequency or amplitude.
What is the region of the electromagnetic spectrum with the longest wavelength?
That would be what we call "radio" waves.Although, to the extent that there is E&M radiation from ordinary utility transmission lines, that would have a wavelength much longer than any radio communication. 60 Hz corresponds to a wavelength of something like 3,100 miles !
Why the phase velocity in a waveguide can exceed the velocity of light?
Guide wavelength is defined as the distance between two equal phase planes along the waveguide. The guide wavelength is a function of operating wavelength (or frequency) and the lower cutoff wavelength, and is always longer than the wavelength would be in free-space. Here's the equation for guide wavelength:Guide wavelength is used when you design distributed structures in waveguide. For example, if you are making a PIN diode switch with two shunt diodes spaces 3/4 wavelength apart, use the 3/4 of a guide wavelength in your design. The guide wavelength in waveguide is longer than wavelength in free space. This isn't intuitive, it seems like the dielectric constant in waveguide must be less than unity for this to happen... don't think about this too hard you will get a headache. === ===

How can you classify smell based on different physical parameters like frequency amplitude or wavelength?
Smell has nothing to do with frequency, amplitude, or wavelength. It is more about detecting the presence of certain types of molecules.

How would the sound wave look like with low bass?
Bass notes are low in frequency, and since the speed of sound is a constant, then the wavelength will be long. Therefore, the sound wave will look "stretched out" due to the long wavelength and probably tall as bass sounds tend to be larger in amplitude.

What does wave amplitude measure?
Wave amplitude is the strong or weak of the wave, like in sound, it would be the volume.
What would happen to a bell in a glass jar if the air was removed?
If *all* of the air was removed, the bell would vibrate if it was rung, but there would be no air to carry the vibrations to the jar walls, so there would be no sound. If only part of the air was removed, the sound would be poorly carried and would not have the same amplitude (volume). (At around 1/100,000th of an atmosphere, low frequency sounds like a bell will no longer be carried because the molecules are farther apart than the wavelength. This is considered a near vacuum.)
What type of electromagnetic wave has a slightly longer wavelength than red light?
Infrared radiation like heat.

What does the the amplitude look like for a loud sound?
The amplitude of a sound wave is a measure of its loudness. A loud sound will have a higher amplitude.
