Why does the amplitude depend on the height of a wave?

The amplitude of a wave is a measure of its maximum displacement from the equilibrium position. As the height of a wave increases, the maximum displacement of the particles creating the wave also increases, resulting in a larger amplitude. Therefore, the height of a wave directly affects its amplitude.


What is definition of amplitude of sound?

The amplitude of a sound wave refers to the magnitude or height of the wave. It represents the intensity or loudness of the sound. Amplitude is usually measured in decibels (dB) and corresponds to the strength of the signal produced by the sound wave.


What is the distance of the crest or the trough from the midpoint of the waves?

In the direction of propagation, it's one-quarter the wavelength. Perpendicular to that, it's the amplitude (or half the amplitude, depending on what definition you're using).


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 maximum displacement of the wave from equilibrium called?

The term for maximum displacement is the amplitude of the wave.

What is the definition on the amplitude?

Amplitude is the maximum displacement of an oscillation from it's rest position.


What is the height of a soundwave which indicates loudness of a sound?

It's the Acoustic Definition of Amplitude.The height of the sound wave is called its amplitude.

Is continuous signals has no amplitudes?

By definition a continuous signal is just that continuous to have no amplitude is to mean it doesn't exists


In what ways can a transistor amplifier modulator be modulated?

If I remember correctly, the definition of "modulation" is a "change in amplitude or frequency".


What is the definition for mass damper?

I know a tuned mass damper is a device mounted in structures to reduce the amplitude of mechanical vibrations.


How many cycles are there in one wavelangth?

A wavelength by definition is the amplitude of motion over one cycle


What is ment by amplifier?

The official definition of the word amplifier is "an electronic device for increasing the amplitude of electrical signals, used chiefly in sound reproduction."


How are the amplitudes of sound waves?

There is not only "one" amplitude. There is an amplitude of particle displacement ξ, or displacement amplitude, an amplitude of sound pressure p or pressure amplitude, an amplitude of sound particle velocity v, or particle velocity amplitude, an amplitude of pressure gradient Δ p, or pressure gradient amplitude. If the "sound" inceases, the "amplitude" also increases.
