Frequency and amplitude are two entirely different measurements. In a sense, its like asking how height and weight are different.

Amplitude of a wave is how strong it is. This means it has very high spots, and very low spots, with a large distance in between them.

Frequency is how often this wave repeats. This can be seen by how close the repeating parts of the wave are together, and how sharp of ups and downs it has, because it has to reach those quicker.

How are AM and FM waves different?

In FM, which is frequency modulaton, the information is "put onto" the radio waves by varying the frequency of the wave. In AM, which is amplitude modulation, the information is "put onto" the radio waves by varying the amplitude of the wave.


What are four qualities of tone?

Amplitude - perceived in terms of loudness /dB/ - the greater the amplitude is the louder the sound. Frequency - the number of oscillations per second. the higher the frequency is the higher on scale of pitch. It perceived in terms of pitch /Hz/ Simplicity/complexity - combination of amplitude and frequency. complex sound waves involve waves of different frequencies superimposed to one another. it is perceived as Quality of sound. Wave lenght - duration of time. reflection of sound wave : Quantity /m per sec/


What are diffrence between AM radio waves and FM radio waves?

AM stands for "Amplitude Modulation". The sound signal you hear is transmitted by modifying the amplitude of the carrier frequency.FM stands for "Frequency Modulation". The sound signal you hear is transmitted by modifying the carrier frequency itself.AM uses a 5Khz bandwidth with additional space to allow for signal separation avoiding interference between stations.FM requires a wider bandwidth.AM has lower sound quality and is subject to static from weather conditions and adjacent frequency radio transmissions.FM has wider bandwidth per channel, due to the better ability to separate noise in the FM bandwidth.AM has a longer range than FM and with the correct conditions can bounce a signal off the ionosphere allowing for longer range possibly causing interference with far away radio stations on the same frequency.FM signals line of site only and will drop of after about 50 miles from the station as the earth curves away. To compensate for this, broadcasting stations use high transmission antennas.


How are radio television signals added to EM radio wave?

The process of adding information onto a bare radio wave is called "modulation". It means changing something on the wave ... either its amplitude, frequency, or phase, or actually turning it on and off ... according to a pattern that the transmitting person and the receiving person have worked out and agreed to, so that when the transmitting person makes changes to the wave, the receiving person can figure out what those changes mean.


What is the full form of AM regarding radio broadcasting?

Aptitude Modulation means the height of the information changes the height of the signal in the radio frequency wave.

What effect does frequency have on the amplitude of a wave?

Frequency does not have a direct effect on the amplitude of a wave. The amplitude of a wave is determined by the energy of the wave, while frequency refers to the number of wave cycles in a given period of time. Changing the frequency of a wave will not alter its amplitude.


How is the energy of a standing wave related to its amplitude and frequency?

The energy of a standing wave is directly proportional to its amplitude and frequency. A higher amplitude or frequency of a standing wave corresponds to a greater amount of energy.


Would amplitude increase if frequency increased?

No, amplitude is not directly related to frequency. Amplitude refers to the intensity or magnitude of a wave, while frequency refers to the number of times a wave oscillates in a given period. Changing the frequency of a wave will not automatically change its amplitude.


Does lower frequency mean more energy for amplitude?

No, lower frequency does not necessarily mean more energy for amplitude. The energy of a wave is determined by its amplitude, not its frequency. The amplitude of a wave is the height of its peaks and determines the intensity or energy of the wave.


Does Amplitude change frequency?

No, amplitude and frequency are independent of each other. Amplitude refers to the intensity or strength of a wave, while frequency refers to the number of complete oscillations of a wave that occur in a given amount of time. Changing the amplitude does not affect the frequency of a wave.


What affect does frequency have on the amplitude of a wave?

The frequency of a wave does not directly affect its amplitude. Amplitude is determined by the energy of the wave, while frequency is the number of complete cycles of the wave that occur in one second. So, a change in frequency would not cause a change in the wave's amplitude.


What happens to the speed of a wave if the amplitude is doubled and the frequency holds constant?

If the amplitude of a wave is doubled while the frequency remains constant, the speed of the wave will not change. The speed of a wave is determined by the medium through which it is traveling, not by its amplitude or frequency.


What is the relationship of the amplitude with the amplitude of the fundamental in the triangular wave frequency response?

The amplitude of the fundamental ('first harmonic') component of the triangular wave is 0.8107 of the whole composite triangle's amplitude. So the composite wave's amplitude is 1.234 times the amplitude of the fundamental. (Both are rounded.) (The amplitudes, not the triangle.)


Which wave components determine a waves energy?

Amplitude times frequency.


Does the frequency change when you increase the amplitude of a wave?

No, increasing the amplitude of a wave does not change its frequency. Frequency is determined by the number of complete oscillations or cycles of the wave that occur in a given time period, and this remains constant regardless of the wave's amplitude.


What affect if any does frequency have on the amplitude of the waves?

Frequency has no effect on teh amplitude of a wave.


What happens to a wavelength when the amplitude and frequency are both increased?

When the amplitude and frequency of a wave are both increased, the wavelength remains constant. Amplitude affects the intensity or loudness of the wave, while frequency determines the pitch. Therefore, changing the amplitude and frequency does not alter the wavelength of the wave.
