What is another name for a wave height?
Another name for wave height is "wave amplitude." This term refers to the vertical distance between the crest (top) of the wave and the trough (bottom) of the wave. Wave height is a key parameter in oceanography and meteorology, as it helps to characterize wave energy and intensity.
What is the height of the crest or trough?
The height of a wave crest or depth of a trough is called the amplitude of the wave.
Which wave property is related to a wave's height?
amplitude
Which relation is there between wavelength and height?
There is no relation between wave length and wave height. You can change the wave height independently from the wave length. Wave height tells you which amplitude the wave has. If you think of sound that means how loud it is. The wave length tells you the pitch or the frequency of this sound, that means high or low sound. Long wavelength means bass sound and short wavelength means treble sound.
What is the height of a soundwave which indicates loudness of a sound?
It's the Acoustic Definition of Amplitude.The height of the sound wave is called its amplitude.
As the speed and length of wave decrease what happens to the wave?
As the speed and length of a wave decreases, the frequency of the wave remains constant. This means that the wave will experience a decrease in wavelength, which is inversely proportional to the decrease in speed. The energy of the wave will also decrease.
What happens to the wave when you decrease the wave period?
When you decrease the wave period, the wavelength becomes shorter and the frequency increases. This results in the wave moving faster.
As the speed and length of a wave decrease what happens to the wave?
As the speed and length of a wave decrease, the frequency remains the same while the wavelength decreases. This means that the wave's energy decreases as well.
What do you have to do to the wave height wave length and wave period to make the flattest wave?
To create the flattest wave, you would want to increase the wave height, decrease the wave length, and shorten the wave period. By making the wave taller, shorter, and more frequent, you reduce the steepness and make it flatter.
What happens as a sound wave energy decrease?
The sound gets softer.
What happens in rarefactions?
In rarefactions, particles in a medium become less dense, causing a decrease in pressure and creating regions of lower pressure in the wave. This leads to the spreading out of the wave and a decrease in the amplitude of the wave.
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.

What happens to wave speed after a wave feels bottom and approaches shore?
The wave speed decreases as it enters shallower water near the shore due to a decrease in water depth. This causes the waves to slow down and increase in height, ultimately leading to wave breaking as the top of the wave moves faster than the bottom.
How does your view of a water wave change when you are travelling at the same speed as the wave?
If the depth of the water stays the same, the wave looks the same, to a first approximation. If the water gets deeper the wave height will decrease. If the water becomes shallower, the wave height increases. A second order effect is that friction effects will slowly reduce the wave height.
Why do waves slow down close to the shore?
Waves slow down near the shore due to the decrease in water depth. As the waves approach shallower water, the wave energy is compressed, causing the wavelength to decrease and the wave height to increase. This change in wave characteristics ultimately leads to a decrease in wave speed.
