Question

How do you increase the amplitude of a wave?

Solution

Explanation:

The wave equation is given by

x = A sin (ωt + ϕ) or x = A cos (ωt + ϕ)x=Asin(ωt+ϕ)orx=Acos(ωt+ϕ)

Here,

  1. x = displacement of wave (meter)
  2. A= amplitude
  3. ω= angular frequency (rad/s)
  4. t= time period
  5. ϕ = phase angle

Therefore,

  1. To increase the amplitude of a wave, we can increase the movement or distance.
  2. The vertical distance between a wave's peak and trough is called its amplitude.
  3. The amplitude is raised by making bigger motions.

Hence, this is the way to increase the amplitude of a wave.
