A sound wave's pitch is determined by its frequency; that is its cycles per unit of time. The sound wave's intensity or volume is determined by its amplitude; the maximum crest of a sound wave.

How are you able to change the intencity of a sound wave?
The loudness has to do with the sound field quantity called sound pressure or sound pressure level (SPL). The sound intensity or acoustic intensity means the sound energy quantity. Our ears and the microphone diaphragms are moved by the sound pressure variations. Better control the sound pressure level SPL.
What does the amplitude of a sound wave determine?
Amplitude is the energy of a sound wave, which we also call Loudness
Pitch describes how high or low a sound is. The pitch of a sound is most dependent upon the of the sound wave.?
frequency
The pitch of a sound wave is its?
Its' frequency.
When the loudness of a sound and amplitude of a sound increases the amplitude of the sound produced will be?
The loudness of a sound is the same thing as the overall amplitude of a sound. When measuring sound, in general, you have pitch (frequency) and tone (amplitude, the measure of loudness). So, if you increase the amplitude of a sound wave pattern, you increase the overall intensity of the sound (the energy), and that can be measured on the logarithmic scale of decibels, since an unconstrained, undirected sound wave carries its energy outward in all directions, in an increasing volume of air (or other medium).
What describes the amplitude of a wave?
The square of the amplitude gives the intensity of the wave. Intensity in case of sound is sensed as loudness and in case of light as brightness.
Define the following terms loudness intensity pitch?
Loudness is the same thing as volume. It refers to the amplitude of a sound wave. Pitch is the quality of a sound where it sounds "high" or "low", as a "high-pitched squeal" or a "low-pitched rumble". It refers to the frequency of the sound wave. Intensity refers to the power of a wave.
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
What is the intensity of sound wave called?
intensity level
What is the intensity of a sound wave called?
intensity level
What is the frequency of the sound wave is?
The frequency of a sound wave is the characteristic of the wave that gives rise to the sensation of pitch, assuming that the wave is not so complex that it is perceived as white noise.
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 meant by intensity of sound how it is different from loudness?
loudness is the magnitude of wave of sound(the highest point reached by the wave). intensity is frequency of sound (that's how much a wave vibrates in 1 second)
What is the wave in which amplitude changes to create sound?
The wave in which amplitude changes to create sound is a sound wave. The intensity of the wave will be changed by energy.
What are the elements of sounds?
There are four elements of sound. These elements are pitch, timbre, duration and intensity. Timbre is the quality of sound, pitch is a tone from a number of vibrations per second, intensity is volume, and duration is length.
How much louder is a sound wave that has an intensity of 50 dB than a sound wave with an intensity of 20 dB?
The power in the wave is [ 30 dB = 1,000 times ] greater.
Sound intensity corresponds to?
wave length
