What color has the greatest amplitude?
red light waves
What happens when you increase the frequency?
When you increase the frequency of a sound wave, the sound waves get compressed and we hear the sound at a faster rate. The pitch of the sound increases.
What happens to the waves as you increase the amplitude?
The sound is perceived as louder if the amplitude increases, and softer if the amplitude decreases. A high amplitude wave carries a large amount of energy; a low amplitude wave carries a small amount of energy.
What happens when frequency is halved?
Therefore, if you halve the frequency the wavelength will double.
Why does higher tension increase wave speed?
Increasing tension lengthens the wavelength, reduces the amplitude, increases the frequency, and therefore an increase in the speed.
Why does pitch increase with tension?
Applying too much tension to a string tightly can raise it to the pitch of the next note, while loosening it can easily lower it the same amount. Increasing the tension raises the pitch. The length of a string is also important. When a string is supported at two points and plucked, it vibrates and produces sound.
Does tension affect resonant frequency?
The added tension causes the resonance to increase because it takes a greater wave speed to move the wire. This means that tension has a direct effect on the frequency of resonance and proficient results could be gathered.
What is the relationship between tension and frequency?
Frequency of the wave the higher the tension, the higher the frequency of the fundamental. the lighter the string, the higher the frequency of the fundamental.
What happens to the frequency of the waves when you increase the rate of vibration?
What happens to the frequency of the waves when you increased the rate of vibration (how fast your hand moved back and forth). After increasing the rate of vibration, the frequency increased. As the wavelength increases the frequency decreases and the other way around. This is an inverse relationship.
