How does energy affect the intensity and amplitude of a wave?

Answer 1

The frequency and the amplitude are related in such a way that, the greater the amplitude the greater is the energy.

The sound pressure amplitude tells about how loud the tone will be and the frequency (cycles per second) of the oscillation tells how high the sound of the tone will be.

The amplitude gives the loudness of the tone: See link below

The frequency gives the pitch of the tone: See link below

Answer 2

Amplitude and frequency are completely unrelated. Either one may be changed

with no effect on the other.

The amplitude of a wave reflects the quantity of energy it's carrying.

In the case of an electromagnetic wave, however, you have to be careful. More energy

just means there are more photons carrying it, but the energy of each photon doesn't

change ... it's determined strictly by the frequency of the photon.

Answer 3

It depends on if the wave is in matter or the wave is light (photons).

When it comes to waves in materials like rock, air or water; higher energy waves also have higher amplitudes. (These waves can be compressive: like sound, or shear: like earth quakes and whips, or displacement: like ocean waves.)

However, when it comes to the wave properties of photonslike visible light, cosmic rays; higher energy waves have a higher frequency. This is separate from the issue of brightness which has to do with the quantity of photons per second.

(Due to the dual nature of light, it can be viewed as waves or particles. At low frequencies, the radio wave may seem to have energy proportional to amplitude. Amplitude modulation (AM) is based on transmitting and receiving various amplitudes of RF at a fixed carrier frequency. However, sidebands are present when the signal is modulated. Electromagnetic theory shows that the brightness varies, that there are photons of varying quantity and frequency in AM modulation. In fact, as the modulation increases, the sidebands also increase in bandwidth.)

Answer 4

In general, energy is directly proportional to the intensity and amplitude of a wave. More energy in a wave results in higher intensity, which is the amount of energy passing through a unit time period. Higher energy also leads to larger amplitudes, which is the maximum displacement of particles in the medium from their equilibrium position.

Answer 5

The intensity will increase if the energy increase. The intensity is proportional to the square of the amplitude of a wave.

Answer 6

The energy and the amplitude are related in such a way that, the greater the amplitude the greater is the energy.

The sound pressure amplitude tells about how loud the tone will be.

Answer 7

Yes the energy of a wave is proportional to the square of the amplitude.

E∝A²

Answer 8

Wave energy is proportional to the square of the amplitude.
