Imagine this... Take a smooth pond of water. Take a small pebble and toss it into the pond. Take notice of the ripples created, both the frequency and amplitude. Now take a larger rock and toss it into the smooth pond. Take notice of the ripples it creates. The same frequency with a larger amplitude. The stronger source created larger amplitude waves. This is how two waves can have the same frequency but different amplitudes - a stronger source power.

Wavelength, Amplitude, and Frequency.


Brightness is to amplitude as hue is to?

wavelength. In the context of light waves, brightness is determined by amplitude while hue is determined by the wavelength of the light wave. Changes in wavelength correspond to different colors in the visible spectrum, just like changes in amplitude affect brightness.


What are the five properties used to explain the behavior of sound waves?

The five properties used to explain the behavior of sound waves are frequency (pitch), amplitude (loudness), wavelength, speed, and direction. These properties help describe how sound waves travel and interact with different mediums.

What are the properties of waves in physics and how do they behave in different mediums?

Waves in physics have properties like wavelength, frequency, amplitude, and speed. They can behave differently in different mediums, changing direction, speed, and amplitude based on the medium's properties like density and elasticity.


How does the size of a ball on the plunger affect the amplitude of the waves?

The size of the ball on the plunger does not affect the amplitude of the waves. The amplitude of the waves is determined by the energy put into creating the waves and the properties of the medium through which the waves travel. The size of the ball may affect other characteristics of the waves, such as frequency or wavelength, but not the amplitude.


Can waves have the same wavelength but different amplitudes?

no they cant they have to be the same they complete each other


What are some characteristics of wave?

Waves are a disturbance or variation that travels through a medium. They transport energy without transporting matter. Waves can exhibit properties such as amplitude, frequency, wavelength, and speed.
