To, find the energy that the first wave carries. This is given by:

2(A^2),

where A is the amplitude of the function. Your first wave is:

2(0.5)^2 = 2(.25) = 0.5,

so its energy is 1/2. Compare that to the energy of A=1 m:

2(1)^2 = 2(1) = 2

The energy increased by a factor of 2^2 (that is, 4), so we take the difference:

dE = E[final] - E[initial]

dE = 2 - 0.5 = 1.5

Energy of the 2nd wave (probably sinusoidal as a guess) is greater by 1.5 J.

A waves amplitude is .5 meters if its amplitude increased by 1 meter how much does its energy change?

The energy of a wave is proportional to the square of its amplitude. If the amplitude is initially 0.5 meters and increases by 1 meter, the new amplitude would be 1.5 meters. Hence, the energy would change by (∆A/A)^2 = (1/0.5)^2 = 4 times the original energy.


How does a waves energy affect its amplitude?

The energy of a wave is directly proportional to its amplitude. Higher energy waves will have larger amplitudes, while lower energy waves will have smaller amplitudes. This relationship is described by the wave equation and is a key characteristic of wave behavior.


What is the SI unit of the amplitude of a wave?

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


What is the wave energy formula used to calculate the amount of energy generated by ocean waves?

The wave energy formula used to calculate the amount of energy generated by ocean waves is: E 0.5 A H2 T where: E wave energy (in joules) water density (in kg/m3) A wave amplitude (in meters) H wave height (in meters) T wave period (in seconds)


What wavelength amplitude?

As far as I'm aware, there is no such thing as "wavelength amplitude".


What is the size of a vibration called?

The size of a vibration is typically referred to as the amplitude. It represents the maximum displacement from the equilibrium position of a vibrating object or medium. Amplitude is often measured in units such as meters or millimeters.


What measure of the energy in a wave?

JoulesE = hc/λ, where E is energy in Joules, h is Planck's constant, 6.626 × 10-34 J•s, c is the speed of light, 3.0 x 108 m/s, and λ is wavelength in meters.


What is amplitude and its unit?

Amplitude is the maximum displacement from the equilibrium position in a wave. It is measured in units such as meters (m) for transverse waves and pascals (Pa) for longitudinal waves.


How is an amplitude measured?

The amplitude of a wave is measured as the maximum displacement of a point on the wave from its equilibrium position. This can be measured in units such as meters for mechanical waves or volts for electrical signals. In general, it represents the strength or intensity of the wave.


What is 8 meters increased by 25 percent?

The answer is 10 meters.


Can a wave with a wavelength of 21 meters ever be more than 3 meters high?

Of course. The wavelength and amplitude have no influence on each other.


What is the dimensional formula of amplitude of vibration?

The dimensional formula of amplitude of vibration is [L], where L represents length or distance. This is because amplitude is a measure of the maximum extent of a vibration from its equilibrium position, which is typically measured in units of length (such as meters).
