Question

PLS HELP DUE IN 30 MINS!!! True or false: A large-amplitude pulse travels at a faster speed than a small-amplitude pulse. Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Larger pulse with more energy means that the wave has large amplitude. As in the given question, both the waves are travelling in the same medium, hence their speeds will remain same and therefore the larger pulse will not overtake the smaller pulse. Remember the amplitude of a wave does not affect the speed at which the wave travels

Answer 2

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The amplitude of a wave does not affect the speed at which the wave travels.  The speed of a wave is only altered by alterations in the properties of the medium through which it travels.
