To determine the amplitude of a wave, measure the maximum displacement of a particle from its equilibrium position. The wavelength can be calculated by measuring the distance over which a wave completes one full cycle. Calculate these values for each of the three waves to determine their amplitudes and wavelengths.
What else can I help you with?
What produces waves with small amplitudes?
Waves with small amplitudes are typically produced by low-energy sources, such as light winds or small disturbances in water. These waves are known as ripples and have wavelengths shorter than regular waves.
How does the size of the ball on the plunger affect of the waves?
The size of the ball on the plunger can affect the wavelength and amplitude of the waves generated. A larger ball can create longer wavelengths and higher amplitudes due to the increased surface area in contact with the water, resulting in more energy transferred to the waves. Conversely, a smaller ball would produce shorter wavelengths and lower amplitudes.
What do waves look like when the have less energy?
Waves with less energy appear smaller, have lower amplitudes, and shorter wavelengths. They may also move slower than waves with more energy.
Why are waves small?
Waves can be small due to factors such as low energy or limited disturbance in the medium through which they are traveling. Smaller waves may also result from shorter wavelengths or less pronounced amplitudes.
Two sound waves traveling through the air have different frequencies and also have what?
Assuming velocity is a constant and v=f x wavelength. They would have different wavelengths.
How is sound transimitted?
Sound is the compression of molecules and atoms in waves which can have different frequencies amplitudes and wavelengths that determine how we interpret the sound.

When two waves of the same wavelengths travel so that their crests and also troughs are aligned they are said to be?
in phase. This results in constructive interference where the amplitudes of the waves add up, creating a wave with a larger amplitude.
How are sound waves made?
sound waves are made by amplitudes
When the amplitudes of waves are equal which frequency waves have the most energy?
When the amplitudes of waves are equal, waves with higher frequencies have more energy. This is because energy is directly proportional to frequency for waves with the same amplitude.
How do waves differ in size and what do the different sizes mean?
Waves differ in size based on their amplitude and wavelength. Larger waves have greater amplitudes and longer wavelengths, which means they have more energy and can travel further. Smaller waves have lower amplitudes and shorter wavelengths, and typically occur in shallower waters closer to the shore.
What did you notice when you changed the frequency and amplitude of the water waves?
When changing the frequency of water waves, I noticed that higher frequencies created shorter wavelengths and faster wave movement. When changing the amplitude, I observed that larger amplitudes resulted in taller waves with more energy.
What type of wave shows the highest amplitude on a seismograph?
Surface waves show the highest amplitudes on a seismograph as they are slower-moving and have longer wavelengths, causing more pronounced shaking of the ground during an earthquake compared to body waves.
