Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the effect of increasing the amplitude of a sound wave?
  • Step 1: Understand what amplitude means. Amplitude is the height of the sound wave.
  • Step 2: Know that sound waves travel through the air and create vibrations.
  • Step 3: Realize that a higher amplitude means bigger vibrations.
  • Step 4: Remember that bigger vibrations make the sound louder.
  • Step 5: Conclude that increasing the amplitude of a sound wave makes the sound louder.
