What would happen if you reduced the amplitude of a sound wave?
Because sound waves are displacements of molecules of the medium they travel through, reducing the amplitude would mean decreasing the displacement the molecules experience as the wave passes through. Even though sound waves are longitudinal (meaning the displacement is in the direction the wave travels in) and waves in water are transversal (the displacement is perpendicular to the wave's direction), an example can be found in water waves; reducing the amplitude in water waves would reduce the size/height of the waves. In the case of audible sound waves reducing the amplitude will decrease the volume of the sound.
Waves with the greater amplitudes carry MORE OR LESS energy than waves with smaller amplitudes?
Wave with higher amplitude carry more energy than wave with lower amplitude. For simple consideration, no amplitude is no wave and thus no energy but just a flat surface of water. Wave with amplitude must have higher energy than the no wave.
What do tsunami waves carry which is common to all waves?
Wavelength, Amplitude, and Frequency.
When two waves overlap and interfere destructively what does he resulting wave have?
"lower amplitude"
What happens to the wave and the color of the wave when you increase or decrease amplitude?
You seem to be talking about a light wave. If you increase the amplitude the light gets brighter, and if you decrease it gets dimmer. Amplitude has no effect on colour.
When two waves increase amplitude?
When two waves increase in amplitude, they can undergo constructive interference, where the amplitudes add together to create a larger amplitude. This results in a wave with a higher intensity. Additionally, if the waves are in phase, the resulting wave will have a larger amplitude, whereas if they are out of phase, the resulting wave may have a smaller amplitude due to destructive interference.
Which property of sound waves changed when you increase the volume on a car radio?
The amplitude of the sound waves increases when you increase the volume on a car radio. Amplitude is directly related to the loudness or volume of the sound.
What is when two waves increase amplitude?
When two waves increase in amplitude and align in phase, they undergo constructive interference, resulting in a wave with a larger amplitude. This occurs when the crests of one wave align with the crests of the other wave, reinforcing each other. In contrast, if the waves are out of phase, they may undergo destructive interference, reducing the overall amplitude of the resulting wave.
How does constructive and destructive interference effect amplitude in waves?
Constructive interference occurs when waves align to increase amplitude, while destructive interference occurs when waves align to decrease amplitude. Constructive interference results in a larger combined amplitude, while destructive interference results in a smaller combined amplitude, or even complete cancellation.
When going from a 5 to a 6 on the Richter Scale what is the increase in amplitude of seismic waves?
The amplitude of seismic waves increases by a factor of 10 when going from a 5 to a 6 on the Richter Scale.
How much does the amplitude of the waves increase between an earthquake that measures 4.2 on the Richter scale and an earthquake that measures 6.2 on the Richter scale?
The change in magnitude is (6.2 - 4.2) 2.0. This is equivalent to a 100 times increase in seismic wave amplitude (as each increase of 1 on the scale is a 10 times increase in amplitude therefore 10 * 10 = 100)..
What is it called when the crest of two waves overlap and result in an increased wave amplitude?
Superimposing of waves is when two or more waves travel through the same medium and intersect. The net displacement is the addition of the waves amplitude. If they are in phase they increase amplitude; out of phase, the amplitude decreases.
What type of waves have amplitude?
Mechanical waves such as sound waves and ocean waves have amplitude. Amplitude refers to the maximum displacement of a wave from its rest position. It determines the intensity or loudness of the wave.
What does a 1.0 increase on the Richter scale mean?
It means that the maximum amplitude of the seismic waves recorded is 10 times bigger for every 1.0 increase. This is equivalent to a 32 times increase in the amount of energy released by the earthquake.
What does it mean when sound waves have a large amplitude?
When sound waves have a large amplitude, it means that the sound is louder or more intense. Amplitude is the measure of the height of the wave and correlates with the volume or energy of the sound. A larger amplitude indicates a stronger sound wave.
Which wave property changes when two waves interfere in the same meduim?
The amplitude of the waves can change when two waves interfere in the same medium. Depending on the type of interference (constructive or destructive), the amplitude can increase or decrease at different points along the medium.
What happened as Waves from deeper waters enter shallower waters?
Amplitude and frequency increase and speed decreases
