What measures the force of a compression and describes how loud a sound is?
Ithink the answer is amplitude
What instrument measures uterine depth?
A uterine sound measures uterine depth.
What instrument measures the volume of sound?
a decibel meter.
How is the loudness of a sound related to the amplitude?
Loudness is really a subjective measure and is often confused with objective measures in decibel units of sound pressure or sound intensity.
A sound waves amplitude corresponds to the sounds what?
Usually, people are asking as if there is just "the" amplitude in sound waves in air. The loudness perception of a sound is determined by the amplitude of the sound waves − the higher the amplitude, the louder the sound. Which amplitude of sound (sound amplitude) do you mean? There are: amplitude of particle displacement ξ, or displacement amplitude amplitude of sound pressure p or pressure amplitude amplitude of sound particle velocity v, or particle velocity amplitude amplitude of pressure gradient Δ p, or pressure gradient amplitude. Furthermore, think of the amplitude of the oscillation of a string. The maximum magnitude of the deflection of a wave is called amplitude. Look at link: "What is an amplitude?"
What instrument measures sound intensity?
An oscilloscope measures electrical signal amplitude and wavelength. A decibel or sound-level meter. A cheap one is available at your local Walmart for about $20 located in the car audio section. If not instore, online. They make much better ones, but if you are looking to just get a rough idea, this is the way to go.
Why does the sound of an instrument sound different when you hit it harder?
You are supplying more energy. Whatever vibrates to provide the sound does so with bigger amplitude, and the sound will have more and different harmonics.
What does amplitude have to do with sound?
amplitude is the height of the sound wave.
What determines the volume of a sound?
Loudness is the subjective personal perception of the ears and brain of a listener. Perceived loudness varies from person to person and cannot be measured.You can measure the objective sound pressure or sound pressure level SPL but not the subjective loudness.
What is an amplitude of a sound?
Amplitude is typically represented as being the "height" of a sound wave. A sound that is louder will have a greater amplitude than a quieter sound.
How are the amplitudes of sound waves?
There is not only "one" amplitude. There is an amplitude of particle displacement ξ, or displacement amplitude, an amplitude of sound pressure p or pressure amplitude, an amplitude of sound particle velocity v, or particle velocity amplitude, an amplitude of pressure gradient Δ p, or pressure gradient amplitude. If the "sound" inceases, the "amplitude" also increases.
What does the the amplitude look like for a loud sound?
The amplitude of a sound wave is a measure of its loudness. A loud sound will have a higher amplitude.
