Homework Statement
A person turns up the volume on a radio. Which aspects of the motion of a point on the diaphragm must increase?
a. maximum displacement only
b. average speed only
c. both maximum displacement and average speed
d. neither maximum displacement nor average speed
Homework Equations
speed = wavelength * frequency
The Attempt at a Solution
I thought it would be (a), because in order for the sound to get louder, the amplitude must increase, but amplitude doesn't affect speed. so the answer is (c) and I'm not sure why.
