Solution

The energy of a sound wave is directly proportional to its amplitude. Therefore, to produce a sound wave with greater energy, you would need to increase the amplitude of the wave. So, the correct answer is B. Increase the amplitude of the wave. The length of the tube does not affect the energy of the sound wave.

The amplitude of a sound wave

Increasing the amplitude means you are increasing the _________ of a wave.

Question 59A musician plays the trumpet in a marching band.  The musician tunes the trumpet inside a room and then goes outside to play.  When outside, the trumpet sounds flat (plays a lower frequency).  Which of the following has occurred to account for the decrease in the frequency?A.The air outside is warmer than inside, which increased the speed of the sound waves.B.More energy is dissipated outside, which caused the sound waves to lose energy.C.The musician shortened the length of the trumpet, which decreased the wavelength of the sound waves.D.The air outside is cooler than inside, which decreased the speed of the sound waves.
