No, waves with the same amplitude do not necessarily have the same speed. The speed of a wave is determined by the medium through which the wave is traveling, not its amplitude. Different waves (like sound waves or ocean waves) can have the same amplitude but travel at different speeds depending on the properties of the medium.

Which of the following waves have the same amplitude?

The waves with the same amplitude are the ones that have equal height or intensity.


What will happen if waves with same amplitude interact?

If waves with the same amplitude interact constructively, they will combine to create a wave with a larger amplitude. If they interact destructively, they will cancel each other out.


Can you describe the similarities of wavelength amplitude frequency and speed of mechanical and electromagnetic waves?

There is absolutely no similarity between amplitude, frequency and the speed of mechanical and electromagnetic waves. All electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed. It does not matter if they have a great big amplitude, a high frequency, or whatever. An ittsie bitty gamma ray travels at the same speed as a great big radio wave. A sound wave, loud or soft travels at the same speed. The way a mechanical wave travels depends on the material.


Which statements are incorrect about wave-speed?

"Wave speed is determined by the frequency of the wave." - Incorrect. Wave speed is determined by the medium through which the wave is traveling, not the frequency. "The amplitude of a wave affects its speed." - Incorrect. The amplitude of a wave does not affect its speed, but rather it affects the intensity or energy of the wave. "All waves travel at the same speed in a vacuum." - Incorrect. The speed of light waves in a vacuum is constant, but other types of waves (like sound waves) can have different speeds depending on the medium.


What are the characteristics of all waves?

Speed, amplitude, and wavelength/frequency.

Why waves created by large disturbance have a low speed?

Water waves - if that's what you mean - tend to travel at more or less the same speed, independent of their amplitude.


Which properties does a longitudinal wave lack?

Longitudinal waves have all the same properties as transverse waves: speed, frequency, wavelength, and amplitude


If four sound waves reached a source at the same time what do the waves wave do not have in common 1 amplitude 2 frequency 3speed 4 wavelenght?

First of all, sound waves propagate away from the source, not toward it.Next, if four sound waves reached the same point at the same time, there's no reasonwhy they couldn't all have the same amplitude, frequency, speed, and wavelength.Next question ?

Properties of Waves?

The main characteristics of waves are: 1. Amplitude or height of the wave. 2. Wavelength, or the distance between crests. 3. Period or the length of time for a wave to pass a point. 4. Frequency or the number of complete waves passing a point. 5. Speed or the horizontal speed of the wave as it grows.


If the waves are going by at the same frequency the wave that has the greatest speed will have the greatest?

The wave with the greatest speed will have the greatest wavelength. This relationship is governed by the wave equation: speed = frequency x wavelength. Therefore, if two waves have the same frequency and the speed is greater in one wave, then its wavelength will be greater as well.
