Does the higher the amplitude of a wave mean the quieter it sounds?

True


How does changing the position of a moving object change it's sound?

The nearer the source of sound, the louder is the sound. If the source of sound is far away from the listener, the intensity of sound decreases, by the square of the distance. ++++ Also, the Doppler Effect. The sound of something approaching at speed, such as the horn on a fast-moving railway locomotive, or a police-car siren, is raised in pitch above its true frequency, then drops abruptly to below true as it passes you. This is due to the sound source moving but the sound speed in air remaining constant.


Is it true that the larger the amplitude the less energy is transported by the wave?

No, the amplitude of a wave represents the maximum displacement of particles from their equilibrium position. The energy transported by a wave is determined by its intensity, which is related to the square of the amplitude. Therefore, a wave with a larger amplitude typically carries more energy.


True or false your distance from a sound source affects how loud the sound seems?

True. The farther away you are from a sound source, the lower the perceived loudness of the sound. This is because sound waves lose intensity as they travel through air, resulting in a decrease in perceived volume.


Is the following statement true or false One sound can appear louder or softer than a second sound with an equal intensity?

True. The perceived loudness of a sound is also influenced by factors like frequency, duration, and surrounding noise levels, not just intensity. So, even if two sounds have equal intensity, one may still be perceived as louder or softer than the other.

One sound can appear louder or softer than a second sound with an equal intensity?

The perceived loudness of a sound depends not only on its intensity (amplitude of the sound wave) but also on factors such as frequency, duration, and the sensitivity of the human ear. Additionally, the distance between the source of the sound and the listener can also affect how loud a sound seems.

What does the brightness of light depend on?

The ultraviolet light contains photons of high energy. these are able to excite the atoms. which during the process of de-excitation can emit frequencies , which are detectable by normal eye. So it depends upon frequency of light..

Increasing the intensity of light decreases the rate of photosynthesis true or false?

False. Increasing the intensity of light typically increases the rate of photosynthesis, up to a certain point where other limiting factors may come into play.

A wave's amplitude is a measure of its strength at any given point in time?

Yes, that's correct. The amplitude of a wave is the measure of the maximum displacement of a point on the wave from its rest position. It corresponds to the wave's intensity or strength at a particular point in time.


Which statement is true for the relationship between transported energy and the amplitude of the sound wave?

The energy transported by a sound wave is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude of the wave. This means that as the amplitude increases, the energy transported by the sound wave increases exponentially.


How can a microphone and oscilloscope show a sound wave?

The microphone reacts to changes in air pressure and creates corresponding AC electical waveforms. The oscilloscope takes the AC waveforms and deflects a moving electron beam in a cathode ray tube, thus producing a moving display of the electrical waveform.
