Increasing the amplitude of a sound wave produces a sound with
|
greater loudness
|
|
|
The amplitude of a sound wave is to its loudness and the amplitude of a light wave is to its
|
brightness
|
|
|
The energy of a sound wave is most closely related to its
|
amplitude
|
|
|
What type of wave is sound traveling in water?
|
longitudinal
|
|
|
"Which phenomenon can occur with light
|
but not with sound?"
|
|
|
" If the amplitude of a wave is increased
|
the frequency of the wave will"
|
|
|
Which type of wave requires a material medium through which to travel?
|
mechanical wave
|
|
|
A laser beam does not disperse as it passes through a prism because the laser beam is
|
monochromatic
|
|
