Question

Explain how the spacing between coils of a spring changes if the amplitude of compressional waves traveling along the spring increases ?

Answer 1

In a spring, squeezing some coils together more tightly causes the nearby coils to be more spread apart

Answer 2

Squeezing certain coils together more strongly in a spring allows the surrounding coils to move further apart. The greater a wave's amplitude, more will be the energy that wave brings.

Step-by-step explanation:

Compressional waves of higher amplitude have more compressed compressions and more spread-out rarefactions.

Squeezing certain coils together more strongly in a spring allows the surrounding coils to move further apart. The greater a wave's amplitude, more will be the energy that a wave brings.

By moving up & down the end of the rope,amplitude of the wave increase that transfer high energy to rope
