Looking at waves A and B. Which description correctly describes the waves?

• Wave A has twice the energy because it has a frequency twice as large.

• Wave A has twice the energy because it has an amplitude twice as large.

• Wave B has twice the energy because it has an amplitude twice as large.

• Waves A and B gave the same energy because they have the same amplitude.

The energy supplied to a speaker is increased. What will happen to the sound the speaker produces?

• The sound will be lower pitch.

• The sound will become a high pitched squeal.

• The sound will be louder or greater amplitude.

• The sound will remain unchanged if the speaker is not changed.

What do we call the distance labeled from A to B and what could we do to the note played on an instrument to change that distance?

• From A to B is known as the wavelength and changing the pitch of the note will change its length.

• From A to B is known as the amplitude and changing the loudness of the note will change its length.

• From A to B is known as the wavelength and changing the amplitude of the note will change its length.

• From A to B is known as the wave height and changing the amplitude of the note will change its length.
