If you increase frequency, what is the effect on amplitude?
If we increase the frequency of wave there is no change in amplitude of wave.
Frequency of wave depend upon wavelength of wave and speed of wave
f=frequency of wave
= speed of wave
=wavelength of wave
When We increase the frequency ,wavelength is decrease at constant speed.
Amplitude of wave is maximum amount of displacement of particle.
Let take a sinusoidal wave
Y= A sin( t+kx)
When frequency of wave is wave is compressed and no change in amplitude of the wave
in sketch We see that the amplitude is same in both case .
So ,there is no change in amplitude when frequency is increase.
