Displacement distance graph of two sound waves A and B, travelling in a medium, are as shown in the diagram. Study the two sound waves and compare their Amplitudes.

Open in App

Solution

From the graph we say that the amplitude of sound wave A is larger than that of sound wave B.
Ratio of amplitudes of both waves $\frac{S_{A}}{S_{B}} = \frac{20}{10} = 2$
