Question

I have 2 questions.

1."Describe the relationship between mechanical wave's amplitude and its energy"


2."What is the relationship between a light waves' amplitude and its brightness"

Answer 1

1) The amount of energy carried by a wave is related to the amplitude of the wave.The more displacement that is given to the first coil, the more amplitude that it will have. So in the end, the amplitude of a transverse pulse is related to the energy which that pulse transports through the medium.

2)The amplitude of a wave tells us about the intensity or brightness of the light relative to other light waves of the same wavelength. Both Wave 1 and Wave 2 have the same wavelength but different amplitudes. The wavelength of light is an important property for it is this that determines the nature of the light.
