The wavelength and frequency affect how the way is perceived. In sound it would affect the pitch that you hear, in the visible light spectrum it would affect what color you see. The amplitude would be how easy it is to perceive, it is the intensity (magnitude) of the wave.

How does the amplitude and frequency affect wavelength?

The amplitude of a wave does not affect its wavelength as wavelength is determined by the speed of the wave and its frequency. Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional; as frequency increases, wavelength decreases, and vice versa. This relationship is expressed mathematically as wavelength = speed of the wave / frequency.


How does amplitude frequency and wavelength affect each other?

-- Frequency and wavelength of a wave are inversely proportional. So knowing one of them determines what the other one must be. -- Amplitude has no relationship to frequency or wavelength, and no effect on them.


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.


What happen to wavelength when you vary amplitude?

Changing the amplitude of a wave does not affect its wavelength. Wavelength is the distance between corresponding points on a wave and is determined by the frequency of the wave and the speed at which it travels through a medium. Amplitude, on the other hand, represents the height of the wave and does not impact the wavelength.


When a waves' amplitude increases does the frequency change?

Velocity of wave = frequency * wavelength (the universal wave equation does not involve amplitude) There is no direct relationship between the amplitude and the wavelength of a wave and therefore if the amplitude increases the wavelength will not necessarily change.


Brightness is to amplitude as hue is to?

wavelength. In the context of light waves, brightness is determined by amplitude while hue is determined by the wavelength of the light wave. Changes in wavelength correspond to different colors in the visible spectrum, just like changes in amplitude affect brightness.


The speed of a wave with a frequancy of 2 Hz an amplitude of 3 m and a wavelength of 10 m is?

velocity=wavelength*frequency. You do the math


How does the size of a ball on the plunger affect the amplitude of the waves?

The size of the ball on the plunger does not affect the amplitude of the waves. The amplitude of the waves is determined by the energy put into creating the waves and the properties of the medium through which the waves travel. The size of the ball may affect other characteristics of the waves, such as frequency or wavelength, but not the amplitude.


Does intensity affect the wavelength?

Intensity does not affect wavelength. Wavelength is determined by the frequency of the wave and remains constant in a given medium regardless of the intensity of the wave. Intensity, on the other hand, is related to the amplitude of the wave, which determines the brightness or loudness of the wave.


What affect if any does frequency have on the amplitude of the waves?

Frequency has no effect on teh amplitude of a wave.


How does amplitude of a pendulum affect frequency?

The amplitude of a pendulum does not affect its frequency. The frequency of a pendulum depends on the length of the pendulum and the acceleration due to gravity. The period of a pendulum (which is inversely related to frequency) depends only on these factors, not on the amplitude of the swing.


Does the amplitude affect the period?

No, the amplitude does not affect the period of a waveform. The period is determined by the frequency of the waveform, which is unrelated to its amplitude.
