How do the amplitudes of a decibel sound and a 100-decibel sound compare?

The power or intensity of the louder one is 10 billion times the power or intensity of the softer one. Since the power or intensity is typically proportional to the square of the wave amplitude, the amplitude of the louder one is a mere 100,000 times the amplitude of the softer one.


How many times louder is an 80 dB sound compared to a 40 dB sound?

1000 times louder. Every 10 decibel, the intensity increases by a factor of 10.1000 times louder. Every 10 decibel, the intensity increases by a factor of 10.1000 times louder. Every 10 decibel, the intensity increases by a factor of 10.1000 times louder. Every 10 decibel, the intensity increases by a factor of 10.


How do the amplitudes of a 120-decibel sound and a 100-decibel sound compare?

-- A difference of 20 dB means the louder one is delivering 100 times as much power as the softer one is. -- The power delivered by any sinusoidal phenomenon is usually proportional to the square of the amplitude. So the amplitudes would have to be in the ratio of 10 to 1. The louder one has 10 times the amplitude of the softer one.


How do the amplitude of a 120 - decibel sound and a 100 - decibel sound compare?

How many times louder is a sound wave with a intensity of 83db than a sound wave with an intensity of 70db?

Use the definition of decibel. The factor can be calculated as is 10(83-70/10). = 101.3.

How many times louder is a 20 decibel sound than a 0 decibel sound?

100 times louder. You will hardly hear a 20 db(SPL) sound at all.


How does intensity of a 40 decibel sound compare to intensity if a 20 decibel sound?

The 40dB sound is (40 - 20) = 20 dB louder than the 20 dB sound.20 dB louder = 10(20/10) = 102 = 100 times louder

What is a decibel in terms of sound?

A decibel is a measure for sound.


What is the sound Lovebird makes?

A lovebird has no decibel. The closer your ear is to a sound source the louder it will be. We measure the sound pressure level (SPL) in decibels at a distance. Laymen are happy knowing a fantasy "decibel of 100 dB". But without any distance such value is really nonsense.


How many times louder is an 80 dB sound compared to a 40 dB sound?

1000 times louder. Every 10 decibel, the intensity increases by a factor of 10.1000 times louder. Every 10 decibel, the intensity increases by a factor of 10.1000 times louder. Every 10 decibel, the intensity increases by a factor of 10.1000 times louder. Every 10 decibel, the intensity increases by a factor of 10.


What is amlitude?

The greater the amplitude, the higher the intensity and the louder the sound.


What does a decibel have to do with sound?
