What else can I help you with?
A decibel is a unit used to measure the?
decibels measure the intensity of sound.
What is the name of the unit used to measure the intensity of a sound?
a decibel
What is the intensity of a sound wave called?
The intensity of a sound wave is called sound intensity. It measures the amount of energy transmitted by the sound wave per unit area. Sound intensity is measured in decibels (dB).
How is the intensity of sound measure?
You take a measuring microphone with a sound pressure level meter.
Is the loudness of a sound is called its intensity?
Yes the loudness of a sound is called its intensity.
What is the unit used to measure the relatice intensity of sound?
Your ears and the sound pressure level meter "measure" the sound pressure of a sound wave. Sound intensity is measured in watts per square meter.Intensity is measured in watts per square meter.Note: Sound power (sound intensity) is the cause -and the sound pressure is the effect.The effect is of particular interest to the sound engineer.
Unit of sound intensity?
The unit of sound intensity I is watts per meter squared (W/m²). Sound intensity is a sound energy quantity. Sound pressure deviations are moving our eardrums. The unit of sound pressure p is pascals (Pa) or newton per meter squared (N/m²). Sound pressure is a sound field quantity. Another answer: The most common unit of sound intensity is the decibel (dB). Reply: No! We got the sound intensity measured in W/m² and the sound intensity level we measure in decibels (dB). The question was "sound intensity".
Loudness is measured in what?
Loudness is measured in a unit called decibels (dB). It is a logarithmic unit used to quantify sound intensity or power level. The higher the decibel level, the louder the sound.
What is a decibel level?
A unit used to measure the intensity of a sound or the power level of an electrical signal. Someones voice could raise by a decibel.It is used to measure the sound intensity and loudness.
Is sound intensity measured by a unit called Hertz?
No, sound intensity is measured in decibels (dB), not Hertz. Hertz is a unit of frequency, which measures how many cycles of a wave occur per second, whereas decibels measure the intensity or loudness of a sound.
The intensity of sound depends on what?
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.
What is the unit of sound intensity measurement?
The unit of sound intensity measurement is the decibel (dB).
