∙ 9y agoThe amplitude will make a difference in the speed. The more amplitude, the longer it will take the wave to get a specific distance.

Is the wave of speed dependent on the amplitude?
No. Wave speed depends on frequency and wavelength, not amplitude.
Why does the amplitude depend on the height of a wave?
This is just the definition of "amplitude". The amplitude of a wave is the height of the wave. "Amplitude" is a fancier name for "height" when we speak about waves.
How does changing the amplitude of a wave impact wave speed?
Amplitude has to do with sound. Vibrating air creates sound using amplitude which is the size of the vibration, and how loud it is. Frequency is the speed of the vibration. The higher the speed, the higher the sound and vice-versa. Amplitude has no effect on wave speed as relates to sound. I believe the same holds for waves of water. Amplitude or size of the wave effects its impact, not its speed.
Does the energy of a mechanical wave depend on the amplitude of the wave?
Yes
What is the Changing the speed of the wave?
its amplitude

Does the amplitude affect on the wavelength or wave speed?
No, the amplitude of a wave does not affect the wavelength or wave speed. The wavelength is determined by the frequency of the wave, while the wave speed is determined by the medium through which the wave is traveling. Amplitude simply represents the maximum displacement of particles in the wave.

Yes
How do you think a wave's speed is measured?
Amplitude of the wave.
What is the Changing the speed of the wave?
its amplitude
How amplitude of a wave depend on the distance from focus?
amplitude of a wave depends on the intensity and goes on decreasing from its mean position
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.
Is the wave speed dependent on the amplitude?
h
What is the formula to find amplitude and speed of waves?
-- Speed of a wave = (frequency) times (wavelength) -- There is no general formula for amplitude.
What is the mathematical relation between wavelength and amplitude?
Wavelength x amplitude = speed of the wave.
