What will happen to the loudness of a sound if the surface area of the vibrating body is decreased?
loudness is inversely proportional to the surface area so it increases when surface area decreases
Is speed of sound proportional to distanced traveled?
No. The amplitude of the sound (and therefore its loudness) will decrease at greater distances; the speed will remain constant (assuming other factors, such as the density of air and the temperature, are constant).
What are the characteristic of sounds?
frequency,wavelength,amplitude,sound pressure,sound intensity,speed of sound,and direction
Which component of the sound wave determines the loudness or softness of a tone?
Amplitude of a sound wave determines LOUDNESS.
Is the loudness of a sound wave is related to its amplitude?
From a wave model perspective, the intensity of a sound (i.e. its "loudness") is dependent on the amount of energy that the sound wave carries. The energy of the wave is proportional to the amplitude, how far the wave goes up and down. Thus, the intensity of voice is dependent on how much force you applied to the air passing through your vocal cords, thus displacing them more (thus a bigger amplitude). Try it, put your hand to your throat and feel which sound is more noticeable (when you whisper, or when you shout).
How is amplitued related to loudness?
(amplitude)2 is directly proportional to loudness.
Is loudness related to the frequency of soundwaves?
No.
How does amplitude affect sound?
Amplitude decides the intensity (loudness) of the sound. Intensity is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude of vibration.
Is intensity directly proportional to loudness?
No - since sound (hearing) operates on a logarithmic scale. So to be twice as loud a sound must be 10 times as "intense".
What is the characteristics of sound?
Sound has three characteristics : 1) Loudness : Measured in decibel. 2) Pitch : It is directly proportional to the frequency of sound. 3) Quality (or Timbre) : It is the difference in the quality of sound.
Pitch is to frequency as loudness is to?
Loudness depends on the amplitude. square of amplitude is proportional to the loudness. Pitch is decided by the frequency. One can sing at higher pitch but at lower voice.
What will happen to the loudness of a sound if the surface area of the vibrating body is decreased?
loudness is inversely proportional to the surface area so it increases when surface area decreases
What are the characteristic of sound produce by human?
Sound has three characteristics : 1) Loudness : Measured in decibel. 2) Pitch : It is directly proportional to the frequency of sound. 3) Quality (or Timbre) : It is the difference in the quality of 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 characteristic of a sound wave causes the loudness?
The perceived "loudness" of the sound varies directly as the amplitude of the wave.
What is the relation between amplitude and loudness?
Sound is a mechanical wave. This means it needs a material medium to travel through. The loudness ie the intensity of sound is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude. As the sound wave passes through, due to elasticity of the medium the energy will be lost and so the amplitude gets decreased. So at far distance the sound intensity will be very feeble.
Is fast sound waves the same as loud soundwaves?
No. The loudness is related to the amplitude - in the case of sound, how much is the pressure difference; or how far the molecules swing back and forth.No. The loudness is related to the amplitude - in the case of sound, how much is the pressure difference; or how far the molecules swing back and forth.No. The loudness is related to the amplitude - in the case of sound, how much is the pressure difference; or how far the molecules swing back and forth.No. The loudness is related to the amplitude - in the case of sound, how much is the pressure difference; or how far the molecules swing back and forth.
