What will the ear perceive when the sound's amplitude is high?
A loud sound.
A sound wave that carries a lot of energy and has a large amplitude has a lot of?
A sound wave that has a large amplitude carries a lot of energy because the higher the waves amplitude the louder (more powerful or energetic) the wave will be. apex answer: high amplitude
How is energy related to loudness?
They are not related, really. There are many forms of energy that have nothing to do with sound. Heat is a common from of energy that does not make any noise. Electricity is another. Sound is simply a moving wave of high and low pressure areas. Like ocean waves have an amplitude that correspond to the difference in height between the peak and the trough of the wave, sound waves have an amplitude corresponding to the difference between the pressure of the high and low pressure regions. The greater the difference, the greater the amplitude and the greater the intensity of the wave, and the louder the sound. But intensity is not the same as energy and I'm frankly not sure how you determine the "energy" of a noise. Presumably it depends on the intensity, the frequency, and the medium it's traveling through. Anybody else know? You do really measure the sound pressure with a sound pressure level meter. Microphones and eardrums are only sensitive to the sound pressure. Forget the energy if you are listening to music. An other thing is fighting the noise pollution. Only there you need to calculate the power and the energy. Scroll down to related links and look for more on decreasing of sound pressure with distance.
Why will sound of low frequencies travel farther in air than sound of high frequencies?
The answer to this question has to do with the nature of waves. A high frequency sound has a greater wavelength than a low frequency sound. A high pitched noise wave looks a bit like NNNNNNNN, whereas a low sound looks a bit more like _____. Because the high pitched noise has a "taller" wave, so to speak, it is more easily interrupted, and cannot, therefore, travel as far as a low sound. sounds with higher frequency have more energy and the energy decreases along with distance and so is the frequency........so a sound with high frequency can travel farther due to its more amplitude,wavelength and intensity. The above is in error. A high frq. sound has a shorter (time is the abcissa(x) axis) wavelength than a lower freq. sound. Tallness or amplitude is not to be confused with wavelength. Amplitude is normally the ordinate or y axis and is a measure of magnitude. Energy content is a factor of both wavelength and amplitude. Lower frequency waves commonly travel better through matter as a result of the atomic spacing of the molecules in the medium( air, solid matter etc.). i.e. Think of dominoes falling.
What does virbration pass from the eardrum?
Large amplitude - low power vibrations in air move the ear drums.They are connected to the ossicles( malleus, incus, and stapes),bones of the middle ear which change the vibrations into low amplitude - high power vibrationswhich are transmitted through the skull to the fluid of the inner ear.Those (fluid) vibrations are what you can detect as sound.
What is the difference between a sound of low pitch and high pitch amplitude or frequency?
Low frequency = low pitch = long waves
What is a sound wave of a high pressure called?
A sound wave with high sound pressure (amplitude) or high sound particle displacement (amplitude) is a sound wave that has a high loudness.
What does a sound wave with high amplitude have?
if high amplitude was found in reservoir after injected water what that mean?
What is relation between amplitude and pitch of sound?
There is no relationship. You can have a large or small amplitude combined with a high or low pitch.
What will the ear perceive when the sound's amplitude is high?
A loud sound.
What is the formulae for finding amplitude of sound?
Amplitude= velocity/frequency Sound velocity is known for many materials, e.g., air The frequency changes, according with: high voice - high frequency (low amplitude) and vice versa
What is the difference between high tone sound and low tone sound?
The Pitch
What does the amplitude look like for a soft sound?
Amplitude is how loud it is. So a soft sound would have a small amplitude. Frequency is the pitch of the sound. High sounds have high frequency. Wavelength is the type of sound. Music wavelengths are in harmony. Changing the wavelength gives us the different words etc that we make.

A sound wave that has a large amplitude carries a lot of energy because the higher the waves amplitude the louder (more powerful or energetic) the wave will be. apex answer: high amplitude
High frequency and a low amplitude represents what kind of sound?
the best describes a high frequency sound is high pitch!!..
How can the loudness of a sound be determined by the waves?
The loudness of a sound (or intensity) corresponds to the sound wave's amplitude. The amplitude of a wave is the distance from the midpoint of the wave to a high-point (crest) or low-point (trough).
