How can you change the amplitude of the wave?

Answer 1

By increasing the frequency and decreasing the wavelength for more energy.

Answer 2

For sound waves, turn up the volume on the radio. For water waves, use a larger and heavier rock (bigger splash). For light waves, more is considered greater amplitude -- so use two light bulbs instead of one. There is a difference between sound waves and light waves.

Answer 3

The amplitude of a wave is simply defined as how far it oscillates away from an equilibrium point. Increasing the amplitude of sound most simply involves increasing volume.

Answer 4

By increasing the frequency and decreasing the wavelength for more energy.

Answer 5

Increase the energy of the wave. Increase in energy means an increase in frequency. E=hf ; h is Planck's constant.

Answer 6

Yes you can. If you're talking about sound waves, you would have to make louder noises to increase the amplitude.

Answer 7

By increasing the energy needed to produce wave. Because intensity is directly proportional to the square of its amplitude.
