Sound waves with very high amplitude are extremely loud in intensity and can be damaging to the human ear. These waves are typically produced by explosions, thunder, or very powerful Musical Instruments. Prolonged exposure to high amplitude sound waves can lead to hearing damage and other health issues.

Can turbines be driven with soundwaves if so how?

Yes, sound waves with very high frequencies can be able to drive the sound waves.


If a sound had a high amplitude and high frequency what would it sound like?

The sound would be like thunder, since thunder also has high amplitudes and frequency also. Usually at the begining of thunder you will listen cracking (krat..kat..krat .........) sound which is high frequency and high pitch. At the time when thundering is almost stop you will listen the heavy /bass sound which is very high amplitude and low frequency (goom.goom....goom...........) sound.


Explain how amplitude and pitch affect changes in waves?

In case of mechanical waves, ie waves propagating through material medium the amplitude of the waves decides the intensity of the waves as intensity is directly proportional to the square of its amplitude. Pitch is related to the frequency of the wave. As pitch increases then in one second more number of waves would cross a particular point in the medium. If velocity of the wave in the medium remains constant, the wavelength gets reduced as the pitch increases.


What kind of sound is produced by sound waves with peaks that are close together?

which kind of sound is produced by sound waves with peaks that are very close together?


What are examples of high amplitude sounds?

When increasing the volume of music played through a music system, you are increasing the amplitude. The amplifier is giving the sound waves more energy, which causes the music to sound louder.

What is the amplitude of ultraviolet waves?

Ultraviolet waves can have different amplitudes, from very small to very large. There is no specific amplitude that they always have.

What does the aplitude look like for a low sound?

well, it will look all wavy, reaaal wavy. very high amplitude


How does lighting sound like?

The rapid expansion of gases around the ionized channel that conducts electricity in a lightning strike causes very high amplitude sonic waves to propagate through the atmosphere. A very loud sound (thunder).


Is amplitude how loud a sound is?

Yes very loud


Make a sentence with the word amplitude?

The amplitude to a wave is high.


A longitudal wave that has ahigh frenquency but a soft sound?

Has a very low amplitude.


How sound waves can be modelled with water waves?

Not very well, because they're different types of waves. They have some similar properties, but water waves are transverse waves (the water goes up and down, perpendicular to the direction of travel) and sound waves are longitudinal waves (the air vibrates parallel to the direction of travel).
