The loudness of a sound wave is determined by its?
By its amplitude. Really loudness is sound intensity & intensity depends on square of amplitude ie. higher the amplitude higher the intensity which means higher the loudness.
What is the amplitude of a sound wave a measure of?
The amplitude of a sound wave is the measure of the intensity of the sound, such as loudness.
What is the scientific definition for intensity?
Intensity is proportional to the square of the amplitude of vibration in case of mechanical wave such as sound waves But in case of light which is electromagnetic in nature, the intensity is the number of photons crossing unit area in one second
What decreases when the intensity of sound decreases?
The amplitude of the sound waves decreases as the intensity decreases.
What does the amplitude of a sound wave indicate?
Amplitude is the maximum extent of vibration of a body from its mean position. The amplitude of a sound wave indicates the loudness of the sound.
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.
The loudness of a sound wave is determined by its?
By its amplitude. Really loudness is sound intensity & intensity depends on square of amplitude ie. higher the amplitude higher the intensity which means higher the loudness.
What is the amplitude of a sound wave a measure of?
The amplitude of a sound wave is the measure of the intensity of the sound, such as loudness.
What does The intensity of a sound describes?
Amplitude
Is a sound quieter when a vibration is smaller?
No. If a vibration is smaller, the sound is higher pitched. To get a quieter sound the amplitude of the sound-wave needs to be smaller. +++ It depends whether you mean amplitude or wavelength being "smaller", and they are two different things. If the vibration's amplitude is smaller the sound is quieter irrespective of frequency. If the vibration is more rapid, the frequency is higher but the wavelength correspondingly smaller irrespective of amplitude.
Intensity depends on amplitude and also on?
When talking about sound, the intensity of the sound is calculated the sound pressure multiplied by the velocity. It doesn't use amplitude in its calculation.
What decreases when the intensity of sound decreases?
The amplitude of the sound waves decreases as the intensity decreases.
What is the scientific definition for intensity?
Intensity is proportional to the square of the amplitude of vibration in case of mechanical wave such as sound waves But in case of light which is electromagnetic in nature, the intensity is the number of photons crossing unit area in one second
What property of sound depends on the energy and intensity of the sound wave?
Its volume or how loud it is.
What does the amplitude of a sound wave indicate?
Amplitude is the maximum extent of vibration of a body from its mean position. The amplitude of a sound wave indicates the loudness of the sound.
What is intensity as it relates to sound waves?
Amplitude.
What do we see that the amplitude of a wave produces?
The amplitude of a wave produces the intensity of the wave. With a light wave, it is the intensity of the light, with a sound wave, it is how loud the sound is
