Question

Draw the figure depicting low amplitude and high amplitude


Open in App
Solution

Amplitude:

  1. A periodic variable's amplitude is a measure of the maximum displacement of the oscillatory particle from the equilibrium position.
  2. Amplitude is the strength or level of sound pressure.
  3. The pitch of the sound is related to the frequency of the wave instead of amplitude whereas the loudness of the sound relates to the amplitude of the wave.
  4. Low amplitude waves feature narrow troughs and low crests, similar to the figure shown below.
  5. Waves with a large amplitude have a high peak and a deep trough.

The low amplitude sound wave and a high amplitude sound wave are as follows:
