We need a length or distance measurement here. The unit is meter or a part of it, like centimeter, millimeter.

What is the SI unit of amplitude for sound?

The SI unit for the amplitude of sound is decibel. It is written as dB.


What is a measure of a waves energy?

the amplitude of a wave shows how much energy it has eg, a smaller voltage ac supply on an oscilloscope would be much smaller than say a higher voltage such as main electrical pylons. if you mean waves at sea then i would presume it would have to be measured in joules as this the standard SI unit for energy.


What increases as amplitude increases?

As amplitude increases, the energy of the wave increases proportionally. This means that the wave carries more energy per unit time. Additionally, the intensity of the wave, which is the power per unit area perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, increases as amplitude increases.


Is the unit associated with amplitude is the hertz?

No, the unit associated with amplitude is not hertz. Amplitude is a measure of the maximum displacement or distance a wave varies from its rest position. The unit for amplitude is typically meters (m) for most practical applications. Hertz (Hz) is the unit for frequency, which measures the number of cycles of a wave that occur in one second.


What is the si unit for amplitude?

Amplitude is used for different waves. For a water wave, the amplitude might be measured in units of length (meters or centimeters), for a sound wave, in units of pressure, for an electromagnetic wave, in terms of electrical properties, for an electrical signal, in volts, etc. - so it really depends on the kind of wave.


What is amplitude and frequency of a wave?

The amplitude is the maximum displacement. The frequency is the number of peaks (or troughs) that occur in unit time (usually a second).


What is S.i unit for wave velocity?

The SI unit for ANY velocity is meters / second.


What is related to the volume of a sound wave?

The volume of a sound wave is related to its amplitude, which is the height of the wave. A higher amplitude results in a louder sound, while a lower amplitude produces a softer sound. The unit used to measure the volume of a sound wave is decibels (dB).


When amplitude of the wave increase what else increases?

When the amplitude of a wave increases, the energy carried by the wave also increases. Additionally, the intensity of the wave, which measures the power carried by the wave per unit area, increases proportionally to the square of the amplitude.


What is the term for the unit that measure wave frenquency?

What does the energy of a mechanical wave depend on?

In fact, energy of the wave is one interpretation of a wave's amplitude. Many versions of amplitude exist. If amplitude has a specific meaning and a specific unit...it needs to be specified. Some examples are displacement amplitude, energy amplitude, pressure amplitude, restoring force amplitude, intensity, decibel level, etcetera.
