height is the intensity, the distance covered by a wave divided by the time it takes is the speed. (ie. short waves = low intensity, fat waves = slow waves)

What gives a sound wave its pitch and intensity?
A sound wave's pitch is determined by its frequency; that is its cycles per unit of time. The sound wave's intensity or volume is determined by its amplitude; the maximum crest of a sound wave.
The speed at which the wave crests move is the?
... wave's speed of propagation.
The height of a wave or the amount of the wave carries is the amplitude?
the answer is : energy
The speed of a wave is how far the wave travels in one unit of?
The speed of a wave is how far the wave travels in one unit of time.
What does the amplitude of a sound wave determine?
Amplitude is the energy of a sound wave, which we also call Loudness
What is the formula of wave intensity?
Not sure what formula you are looking for. Wave intensity is given by the amplitude of the wave.
What do we see that the amplitude of a wave produces?
The amplitude of a wave produces the intensity of the wave. With a light wave, it is the intensity of the light, with a sound wave, it is how loud the sound is
What is the intensity of a sound wave called?
intensity level
What is the intensity of sound wave called?
intensity level
A amplitude of a wave related to?
Amplitude is related to the intensity because square of the amplitude is proportional to the intensity of the wave.
Is there a scale used to measure the intensity of a heat wave?
is there a scale used to measure the intensity of heat wave
Would there be a Doppler effect if the source of a wave is stationary and the observer is the one in motion?
Yes. The observer frequency fo= f( v + vo)/(v -vs) where f is the signal frequency, v is the speed of wave and vo is the speed of the observer towards the signal and vs is the speed of the signal toward the observer.
How does the amplitude affect the energy of a wave?
The intensity will increase if the energy increase. The intensity is proportional to the square of the amplitude of a wave.
Which wave characteristic is most related to sound wave intensity?
Amplitude (the height of the wave)
How are wave speed frequency and wave length related to the wave amplitude?
Frequency is the amount of bumps there are in the wave. The higher the frequency the lower the wave length and vise versa. some equations are E=hv C=vw h=Plancks Constant(6.626x10 to the -34) C=3.0x10 to the power of 8
Does the intensity of a wave increases when its amplitude decrease?
Intensity of a wave is proportional to the square of its amlitude so it should decrese when the amplitude is decreased.
The measure of a waves intensity?
The measure of the intensity of a wave is referred to as its amplitude.
