Does amplitude mean louder?
No. Amplitude refers to the height of a wave. If the wave is a sound wave a larger amplitude would mean a louder sound.
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 two terms characterize a sound wave?
The frequency and amplitude.
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 is an amplitude in sound?
Amplitude of a sound wave is the height between the peak (top most part of the wave) and the trough (bottom most part of the wave). So as the wave travels, say on a string, the highest the string or wave moves up minus the lowest the string or wave moves down is the "amplitude" of the wave.

Does intensity increase with the amplitude of a sound wave?
Yes, but it would be good when you know what amplitude you really mean.
What happens to the volume of a sound wave as its amplitude decrease?
You mean by the word 'volume' the intensity of sound wave. Intensity is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude.
What does amplitude have to do with sound?
amplitude is the height of the sound wave.
What does a sound wave with high amplitude have?
if high amplitude was found in reservoir after injected water what that mean?
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.
