What else can I help you with?
Which is a property of light waves but not sound waves?
why cannot it be both? by definition, amplititude is the extreme range of fluctuating quantity. swing range of a pendulum, current flow,bla,bla,bla. amplitude MODULATION is in reference to radio waves with regards to signal RANGE ie: AM Radio- amplitude modulation am bounces and the range of frequency is modulated within the extreme band withs of the wave.
What could happen if the amplitude of ocean waves and sound waves change?
If the amplitude of ocean waves increases, it can lead to more powerful waves that may cause coastal erosion, flooding, and damage to marine infrastructure. In contrast, a decrease in amplitude could result in calmer seas, affecting marine navigation and ecosystems. For sound waves, higher amplitude means louder sounds, which can impact marine life communication and behavior, while lower amplitude might reduce sound clarity, affecting activities like sonar operation and underwater communication. Overall, changes in amplitude can significantly influence both marine environments and human interactions with them.
Where do the light waves change speed from a pencil?
Light waves change speed when they travel from air into the material of the pencil, and then change speed again when they exit the pencil back into the air. This change in speed causes the light waves to refract or bend.
Does visible light waves have pitch?
no You might say that, even though nobody else ever does. A change in the frequency of sound is perceived as a different 'pitch'. A change in the frequency of light is perceived as a different 'color'. In each case, even a small change in frequency is easily perceptible to the human sensory system. Who cares what word you use to describe it !
What affects absolute brightness?
Brightness corresponds to amplitude of waves. Greater amplitude means greater brightness (so lower amplitude means less brightness).
How does the amplitude of waves contribute to our understanding of light?
The amplitude of waves in light affects its brightness and intensity. A higher amplitude corresponds to a brighter light, while a lower amplitude results in dimmer light. By understanding the amplitude of light waves, we can interpret the brightness and intensity of light sources.
How does the amplitude of waves help us understand light?
The amplitude of waves in light helps us understand its brightness or intensity. A higher amplitude means brighter light, while a lower amplitude means dimmer light. This property of light waves allows us to perceive and measure the brightness of objects and the intensity of light sources.
What happens if two light waves with the same amplitude interfere constructively?
When two light waves with the same amplitude interfere constructively, they combine to form a new wave with a larger amplitude. This results in a brighter light.
What does amplitude determine in light?
amplitude will determine the brightness in light or the loudness in sound.
What regard to light waves the higher the amplitude the greater the brightness.?
Yes, that's correct. The amplitude of a light wave corresponds to the intensity or brightness of the light. Higher amplitude waves carry more energy and appear brighter to our eyes.
what is amplitude?
Amplitude refers to the amount by which something is displaced from the middle of its periodic motion. It can mean the maximum disturbance from the neutral position of a wave. It represents the intensity of a vibration, e.g. the loudness of a sound.
A change in loudness results from a changing of the of the sound waves.?
Yes, the loudness of a sound is determined by the amplitude of the sound waves. A higher amplitude corresponds to a louder sound, while a lower amplitude corresponds to a quieter sound.
A light waves brightness depends on the?
A light wave's brightness depends on its amplitude, which determines the intensity of the wave. The greater the amplitude, the brighter the light wave will appear.
What does the amplitude of a light wave determine?
The amplitude of a light wave shows the light's brightness relative to waves of similar wavelength.
How does amplitude affect light intensity?
Amplitude of light waves directly affects the intensity of light. As the amplitude increases, more energy is carried by the light wave, resulting in higher intensity. Conversely, a decrease in amplitude leads to lower light intensity.
What are two main categories for waves?
wavelength, amplitude or maybe you meant sound and light (waves?)
Are rods most sensatives in dim light to low amplitude light waves?
Yes, rods are highly sensitive to dim light and low amplitude light waves. They are responsible for our ability to see in low light conditions, but they are not as sensitive to colors as cones are.
