A longitudinal wave with a large amplitude will have higher peaks and lower troughs compared to a wave with a smaller amplitude. It will look taller in its oscillations and have more pronounced compressions and rarefactions.

What would a high amplitude light wave look like?

A high amplitude light wave would appear brighter and more intense compared to a low amplitude light wave. It would have larger fluctuations in its brightness and a stronger visual impact.


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 amplitude of the sinusoid given by?

To determine the amplitude of a sinusoidal signal, we look at the peak value of the signal function. The amplitude is the half of the peak-to-peak value of the signal, or the absolute value of the maximum value of the signal.


Maximum distance a wave vibrates from resting position?

The maximum distance a wave vibrates from its resting position is called the amplitude. It represents the peak displacement of a wave from its equilibrium position. The greater the amplitude, the greater the energy the wave carries.


What is an amplitude in sound?

Amplitude of a sound wave is the height between the peak (top most part of the wave) and the trough (bottom most part of the wave). So as the wave travels, say on a string, the highest the string or wave moves up minus the lowest the string or wave moves down is the "amplitude" of the wave.

What does the the amplitude look like for a loud sound?

The amplitude of a sound wave is a measure of its loudness. A loud sound will have a higher amplitude.

What does the amplitude look like like for soft sound?

Amplitude is how loud it is. So a soft sound would have a small amplitude. Frequency is the pitch of the sound. High sounds have high frequency. Wavelength is the type of sound. Music wavelengths are in harmony. Changing the wavelength gives us the different words etc that we make.

What is amplitude distortion?

Amplitude distortion occurs in an electronic signal when the power of the amplifier is not great enough to carry the sine wave to its intended peak amplification. If you look at the wave form of a amplitude distorted output signal, it would look like someone had neatly sliced off the top of a hill. Though amplitude distortion is usually an undesired result, the effect is sometimes used intentionally for audio applications, such as a distorted rock guitar which gives that crunchy rock sound.
