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 Amplitudes, Wavelengths. ICSE 2018 Physics Solved Question Paper.

Study the two sound waves and compare their:

(i) Amplitudes

(ii) Wavelengths

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

(i) From figure, amplitude of wave A = 20 cm and

amplitude of wave B = 10 cm.

$\frac{\text{Amplitude of wave A}}{\text{Amplitude of wave B}} = \frac{20}{10} = 2 : 1$

(ii) Wavelength of A = x and wavelength of B = 2x

$\frac{\text{Wavelength of wave A}}{\text{Wavelength of wave B}} = \frac{x}{2x} = 1 : 2$
