What happens if 2 waves of equal amplitudes and wavelengths travel through a medium in such a way that a particular particle of the medium is at the crest of one wave and the trough of the other?
nothing.
Is the amount of energy in a sound wave is called amplitude?
No; depending on how you look at it, the amplitude is how much particles move back and forth, OR how much the pressure changes, as a sound wave goes through. Other things being equal, more amplitude means more energy, but amplitude is not the only factor. Also, and once again if other things are equal, energy is proportional to the SQUARE of the 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.
Volume of a sound wave is equal to the what?
The amplitude of a sound wave is the same as its volume.
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.
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.
What happens if 2 waves of equal amplitudes and wavelengths travel through a medium in such a way that a particular particle of the medium is at the crest of one wave and the trough of the other?
nothing.
When the crest of one wave overlaps the crests of another wave what is it called?
When the crest of one wave overlaps the trough of another, this produces destructive interference. If both original waves are equal in amplitude, then nothing will remain. The waves completely cancel out. However, if one waver is larger in amplitude, then there will still be a wave left over after they meet, but it will be smaller. The amplitude of the new wave will be the larger wave amplitude minus the smaller wave amplitude one. The opposite can also occur. If the crests of two waves overlap, then it produces constructive interference (resulting in one larger wave).
When signal amplitude is equal to carrier amplitude then modulation index is?
amplitude modulating signal
Is the amount of energy in a sound wave called amplitude?

What is the relationship between the amplitude and the height of the wave?
amplitude is equal to one half of the wave height the greater the energy of the wave the greater its amplitude
Can you make a meaningful sentence using the word amplitude?
1. The amplitude of the graph y=sin(x) is equal to 1. 2. The amplitude of the situation was greater than he anticipated.
If two waves with equal amplitudes and wavelenghts travel through a medium in such a way that a particular particle of the medium is at the crest?
The particle will remain stationary due to interference
Is a wave largest at the trough or the crest?
Equal, I've never seen a wave uneven. A= equal

What is the period and amplitude for y equals 7 cos 2x?
amplitude =7. to find the period, set 2x equal to 2∏. then x=∏=period
