As you know, sound travels in the form of waves with crests and troughs (high and low points). When two waves meet, constructive or deconstructive interference can occur. Loudness increases when waves interfere constructively, in other words when crests combine with crests or when trough combine with troughs to produce an even larger wave amplitude (the height of the resulting wave). Loudness decreases when waves interfere deconstructively, in other words when crests cancel out troughs to produce a smaller wave amplitude.

∙ 9y agoNo. Loudness is another word for amplitude. However, the human ear is more sensitive to some frequencies than others, so certain tones may "stand out" more. America.

What is the term for variations in the loudness of sound caused by wave interference?
Beats
The characteristic of a sound wave that you interpret as loudness is related?
Amplitude is the primary factor in determining the 'loudness' of a sound wave.
What determines the loudness of a sound wave?
The amplitude determines the loudness of a sound wave.
What characteristic of a sound wave causes the loudness?
The perceived "loudness" of the sound varies directly as the amplitude of the wave.
What does the amplitude of a wave tell about a sound?
Amplitude is the maximum displacement of a wave. The amplitude determine the loudness of the sound

What determines the loudness of a sound wave?
The amplitude determines the loudness of a sound wave.
What is the characteristic of a sound wave that corresponds to loudness?
The bigger the troughs of the sound wave and height of the wave corresponds to the loudness the higher the wave the louder the sound.
Are loudness and pitch related?
No, pitch is related to wave frequency, loudness is related to wave amplitude.
What characteristic of a sound wave causes the loudness?
The perceived "loudness" of the sound varies directly as the amplitude of the wave.
Which component of the sound wave determines the loudness or softness of a tone?
Amplitude of a sound wave determines LOUDNESS.
Loudness is the human perception of sound wave?
The amplitude of sound waves is what humans perceive as loudness.
Is the amount of energy in a sound wave per unit of time and is also related to the loudness of a sound.?
Yes, it is.
What does the amplitude of a wave tell about a sound?
Amplitude is the maximum displacement of a wave. The amplitude determine the loudness of the sound
The loudness of a sound is the wave?
The loudness of a sound wave is proportional to the amplitude of the wave, which is to say, the size of the vibration.
What does the amplitude of a sound wave determine?
Amplitude is the energy of a sound wave, which we also call Loudness
