The energy of a wave is directly proportional to the square of the waves amplitude. Therefore, E = A² where A is the amplitude. This therefore means when the amplitude of a wave is doubled the energy will be quadrupled, when the amplitude is tripled the energy increases by a nine fold and so on.
Thus, in this case if the energy is 4J, then the amplitude will be √4 = 2 .
Answer:
Originally : Level = log I / I0
Currently: Level = 10 log I / I0
Level = 10 log 600 = 10 * 2.78 = 27.8
Note the term 1 bel = 10 decibels
Answer:
High in the atmosphere, air pressure decreases. ... A low pressure system has lower pressure at its center than the areas around it. Winds blow towards the low pressure, and the air rises in the atmosphere where they meet. As the air rises, the water vapor within it condenses, forming clouds and often precipitation.
Explanation:
The whole definition of frequency is: <em>How often something happens. </em>
Especially referring to something that happens over and over and over and over.
One example is Choice-C: How often the particles of a medium vibrate.
"Frequency" comes from the word "frequent". That means "often", and "frequency" just means "often-ness" ... HOW often the thing happens.
Some other examples:
Frequency of jump-roping . . . maybe 60 per minute .
Frequency of rain . . . maybe 5 per month .
Frequency of an AM radio station . . . maybe 1 million waves per second.
(If it's something <u><em>per second</em></u>, then we call it "Hertz". That's not for the car rental company. It's for Heinrich Hertz, the German Physicist who was the first one to prove that electromagnetic waves exist. He sent radio waves all the way ACROSS HIS LABORATORY and detected them at the other side ( ! ), in 1887.)
Frequency of the wiggles in the sound wave coming out of a trumpet playing the note ' A ' . . . 440 Hertz.
Frequency of sunrise and the Chicago Tribune newspaper . . . 1 per day
Frequency of the cycle of Moon phases and an average human woman's ovulation cycle: 1 per 29.531 days, 1 per ~28 days .
