Wave Amplitude

102 - Wave Amplitude

In this video Paul Andersen explains how the amplitude of a wave is a measure of the energy of the wave. He gives several examples of wave amplitude and shows you how to calculate the wave of a transverse and longitudinal wave.

Do you speak another language? Help me translate my videos:

So I accidentally found this looking for wavy hair tutorials, but I just came back to say that I remember you from high school and you really helped me out in AP Physics

Very good explanation sir...
Perfectly explained longitudinal amplitude...

[SammieJ]

So a sound wave with a high amplitude, is it louder than one with a small amplitude?

[SwuaveWEB]

Where does the energy go when two waves cancel each other out?

[sharathkhetawat]

Very nice sir I understand it completely and this video is help me to understand my problem

[lukedecarne]

Can you please do one on the stimulus response model? That would be awesome. I have a Biology assessment on Friday, so as soon as possible, thanks

[dogeaddiction]

Thank you! That helped a lot! Your explanation was clear and simple! :)

I'm 10 years old, I'm trying to understand this because I'm supposed to make a hat about this... idk what this is ..

Don't get me wrong, this video was helpful but I wish it talked about finding the wave amplitude of a transverse wave because while you do have to measure the hight of the crests, what if your not given the units? and sure there may be lines on the graph or the visual but you would still not know what the units are, like is is going by 5s, 10s, 100s, etc? so while a good video I wish it covered the amplitude of a transverse wave in more detail.

Can you answer me this problem please
If the time of 0.5 amplitude is 2 second calculate the time of complete oscillation or vibrating

Reply quickly I'm intersted

[Yash-Gaikwad]

Why light waves don't have high amplitude like radio waves etc

[greenmon]

my lab questions are about total amplitude.
Could you explain those?

[sobhanadriboyina]

can you send me software of varying amplitude constant frequency to my mail

[miran]

Will I Get A Like From BozemAn Science?

[timapiepgrass]

er, that's not quite what a Tsunami is... awkward.
