A + b


What is it called when a combined wave has a smaller amplitude than the origanal waves?

superposition


What is it called when's. Combined wave has a larger amplitude than the original waves?

That is called reinforcement.


Using the concept of interference explain why the sound levels in the room vary?

The sound levels in the room vary because when its loud the waves combine by constructive interference, the combined wave has a larger amplitude than the original waves did but when its soft the two waves with the same amplitude combine by destructive interference, they cancel each other out.


What type of waves have amplitude?

All waves have amplitude.


What do sound waves have in common with other mechanical waves?

They have the same wavelength and harmony. Sometimes the amplitude.


Is it possible for one wave to cancel another wave and the combined amplitude became zero?

yes but no because waves don't crash into each other in the middle of the sea. P.S i am 12


What is a waves amplitude?

The top of a wave, because its cut in half and the waves amplitude is on top...


If a band is playing loudly will the amplitude of the sound waves be small or large?

The amplitude of the sound waves will be largerbecause the larger the amplitude the louderthe sound.


What are micro-waves average amplitude?

microwaves average amplitude


What is it called when the crest of two waves overlap and result in an increased wave amplitude?

Superimposing of waves is when two or more waves travel through the same medium and intersect. The net displacement is the addition of the waves amplitude. If they are in phase they increase amplitude; out of phase, the amplitude decreases.


What occurs when two or more waves overlap and combine?

They superpose. Energy of the waves are redistributed to form a resultant wave with amplitude given by the summation of individual wave's amplitude. If the two waves are of same frequency, speed and amplitude and travelling in opposite direction den stationary waves are form.
