Question
Displacement distance graph of two sound waves A and B, travelling in a medium, are as shown in the diagram below.
Study the two sound waves and compare their:
1) Amplitudes
2) Wavelengths
Solution
For the sound wave, 'B' amplitude is half of the amplitude of 'A' similarly wavelength of 'B' is double of the wavelength of 'A'.
