Amplitude squared is the amount of energy in a wave.

The simplest calculations would be for a string wave.

What happens to the intensity of a wave if the amplitude decreases?

Intensity of a wave is proportional to the frequency squared and amplitude squared based on this formula; I=1/2pw^2A^2V where p is the density of the medium, w is the angular frequency and A is the amplitude and V is the wave velocity. So, everything else remaining constant, decreasing the amplitude will decrease a waves intensity. Example decreasing the the amplitude by a factor of 4 will decrease the wave intensity by a factor of 8.


What is the relationship of the amplitude with the amplitude of the fundamental in the triangular wave frequency response?

The amplitude of the fundamental ('first harmonic') component of the triangular wave is 0.8107 of the whole composite triangle's amplitude. So the composite wave's amplitude is 1.234 times the amplitude of the fundamental. (Both are rounded.) (The amplitudes, not the triangle.)


What happens to the energy in a seismic wave as the wave grows larger?

As a seismic wave grows larger, the energy it carries remains constant. The amplitude (height) of the wave increases, but the total energy the wave carries does not change. The energy is redistributed within the wave to accommodate the larger amplitude.


How the term intensity decibel and amplitude are related?

They are all measueres of sound waves. Amplitude is the term for the maximum difference in pressures between the peaks and troughs of a sound wave. Intensity is a measure of the energy content of a wave, and is proportional to amplitude squared. The decibel is an anthropic (based on human senses) measure of sound intensity, proportional to the logarithm of intensity.


The amplitude of oscillation of a pendulum decays by a factor of 27.0 in 110 s By what factor has its energy decayed in that time?

27^2 = 729 is a factor of energy decayed. (time takes NO role in this case)


What has the greater energy sounds with the higher amplitude or sound wave with higher frequency?

Sounds with higher amplitude have greater energy than sounds with higher frequency. Amplitude corresponds to the intensity or loudness of a sound, while frequency relates to pitch. In general, the energy of a sound wave is proportional to its amplitude squared.


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.


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?"


How does the amplitude of a sound relate to its intensity?

The loudness has to do with the sound field quantity called sound pressure or sound pressure level (SPL). The sound intensity or acoustic intensity means the sound energy quantity. Our ears and the microphone diaphragms are moved by the amplitude of sound pressure variations. Intensity I = sound pressure squared p2.


What is maximum displacement of the wave from equilibrium called?

The maximum displacement of a wave from equilibrium is called the amplitude. Amplitude determines the intensity or strength of the wave.


How do you determine the ratio of an amplitude?

Amplitude ratio to dB conversion:For amplitude of waves like voltage, current and sound pressure level:GdB = 20 log10(A2 / A1)A2 is the amplitude level.A1 is the referenced amplitude level.GdB is the amplitude ratio or gain in dB.dB to amplitude ratio conversion:A2 = A1 · 10(GdB / 20)A2 is the amplitude level.A1 is the referenced amplitude level.GdB is the amplitude ratio or gain in dB.
