How could you compare the energy carried in two different longitudinal waves?

Asked by cjohns22499

Answer (3)

U could compare them using the intensity technique when bending waves are negligible in comparison with quasi-longitudinal waves.

Energy carried in two ways can be campared by using the intensity technique when bending waves are negligible in comparison with quasi-longitudinal waves.

Energy in longitudinal waves can be compared by measuring the intensity (power per unit area) and the amplitude squared, as energy is proportional to amplitude squared. By analyzing these values, one can determine which wave carries more energy. This method is essential for understanding waves in different contexts like sound and seismic activity.
