Question

What happens to the particles in a longitudinal wave as the amplitude increases?

Answer 1

Answer: The particles in a longitudinal wave rotate in the same direction as the amplitude increases.

Explanation: A longitudinal wave's amplitude is the distance between particles in the medium compressed by the wave. The greater the amplitude of the wave, the closer the particles are together.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

In a longitudinal wave, particles of the medium move back and forth in the same direction as the wave. Wave amplitude of a longitudinal wave is the distance between particles of the medium where it is compressed by the wave. The closer together the particles are, the greater the amplitude of the wave.
