Measures the amount of particle vibration?

Amplitude measures the amount of particle vibration.


A sound waves amplitude corresponds to the sounds what?

Usually, people are asking as if there is just "the" amplitude in sound waves in air. The loudness perception of a sound is determined by the amplitude of the sound waves − the higher the amplitude, the louder the sound. Which amplitude of sound (sound amplitude) do you mean? There are: amplitude of particle displacement ξ, or displacement amplitude amplitude of sound pressure p or pressure amplitude amplitude of sound particle velocity v, or particle velocity amplitude amplitude of pressure gradient Δ p, or pressure gradient amplitude. Furthermore, think of the amplitude of the oscillation of a string. The maximum magnitude of the deflection of a wave is called amplitude. Look at link: "What is an amplitude?"


What is the relationship between amplitude and waves?

In a sinusoidal wave amplitude is the height of the crest and frequency is the no. of oscillations per second.Hence,amplitude remains same for any change in frequency.-No relation.


What is the maximum displacement of a particle of a wave called?

amplitude


The amplitude of a wave measures?

It measures the maximum displacement of a particle in the wave from the equilibrium position. The equilibrium position is also known as the resting position. When displacement of the particle equal to the amplitude, we say that it is at the amplitude, where it is furthest from its equilibrium position.

How are the amplitudes of sound waves?

There is not only "one" amplitude. There is an amplitude of particle displacement ξ, or displacement amplitude, an amplitude of sound pressure p or pressure amplitude, an amplitude of sound particle velocity v, or particle velocity amplitude, an amplitude of pressure gradient Δ p, or pressure gradient amplitude. If the "sound" inceases, the "amplitude" also increases.


How do you increase the wavelength of a wave?

The expression for the energy of a mechanical wave is E = 2 m pi2 nu2 a2 m - mass of the particle in the medium nu - frequency of the wave a - amplitude of wave. So to increase the energy we may increase the frequency or amplitude of wave. If m is larger then more energy is required to have the same amplitude. Hence with increased mass more energy will be stored.

What happens if two waves of equal amplitude and frequency travel through a medium so that a given particle is at the crest of one wave and at the trough of the other at the same moment?

The particle will remain stationary due to interference.The particle will remain stationary due to interference: the effects of the two waves on the particle are exactly opposite.

The maximum displacement of a particle within a wave above or below its position is called amplitude?

equilibrium amplitude


Your perception of the amplitude of a sound wave is?

The amplitude of a sound wave is a measure of the distance between the rest position and the maximum displacement of the particle from its rest position. It is equal to half the total displacement of a vibrating particle.


The quality in sound that corresponds to color in light is?

sound and light both share wave properties (ie. frequency and wave length). unlike sound light behaves as both a wave and a particle.


The maximum displacement of a particle within a wave above or below it's blank position is called amplitude?
