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.
Sentence using science word frequency and wave length and amplitude?
The Wave lenght of a pulsation can be determined by dividing its velocity by its frequency, the amplitude is not involved in the calculation.
How are loudness of sound and wave interference related?
As you know, sound travels in the form of waves with crests and troughs (high and low points). When two waves meet, constructive or deconstructive interference can occur. Loudness increases when waves interfere constructively, in other words when crests combine with crests or when trough combine with troughs to produce an even larger wave amplitude (the height of the resulting wave). Loudness decreases when waves interfere deconstructively, in other words when crests cancel out troughs to produce a smaller wave amplitude.
The amplitude of a sound wave determines its?
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 happens when you change the amplitude?
Simple Case:For simple waves, changing the amplitude does not change any other basic wave characteristic, e.g. frequency, wavelength.Amplitude is usually associated with the quantification of how much stuff is waving or how strongly it is waving, e.g. water waves and sound waves. It nearly always then is a measure of the energy of a wave which is usually proportional to the square of the amplitude. For sound and similar waves we say a change of amplitude changes the intensity of the wave.More complex Cases:The basic characteristics of a simple harmonic wave are the amplitude, frequency and wavelength., There are further longitudinal and transverse waves, so the direction of associated with the movement of whatever is oscillating is another characteristic.The amplitude of a wave is the measure of the maximum magnitude of whatever is oscillation. For simple harmonic waves, there is a sinusoidally varying quantity which is the amplitude. When the amplitude changes, it is just that magnitude changing or such simple waves. As stated above, this is usually associated with a change of energy or intensity.For some waves, particularly those which are not simple harmonic waves, change in amplitude can cause other effects. These are called nonlinear effects.A few examples are known from daily life. A ripple on the surface of water does not have the same properties as a giant ocean wave. In the case of water, amplitude does alter wavelength and frequency. The character of a wave changes. The electrical waves traveling through the electrical circuit of an amplifier for a loudspeaker system have properties that are not simply proportional to amplitude of the signal can can produce those loud screeching noises and distortions. People who wear glasses which darken in bright sunlight are experiencing a nonlinear effect. Even the oscillation of a pendulum is nonlinear with the period of the pendulum changing as the amplitude increases.

Make a sentence with the word amplitude?
The amplitude to a wave is high.

What is the special word for the height of a wave?
Amplitude is the usual term, this may be peak too though or peak to mean level.
What word can precede wave barrier and bite?
sound
What is a height of a wave?
You might be looking for the word "amplitude", though it's kind of hard to tell from the phrasing of the question if that's really the right word or not.
The amplitude of a sound wave determines its?
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.
How are loudness and and intensity related to the amplitude and energy of a sound wave?
The word loudness belongs to psycho acoustics and tells how we feel this sound, that is not measuring the sound like we do with a sound pressure meter. Listening to music means motion to the ear drums. Only sound pressure moves the ear drums. The energy or the sound intensity is much less important here. Sound intensity belongs more to the noise fighters.

What another word for a sound's volume?
loudness, number of decibels, magnitude, amplitude, intensity, pitch
What do you understand by modulation?
Modulation is a word applied to anything that varies in level. Brake pads are modulated in an anti lock braking system. The human voice can be modulated whilst singing to give a pleasing sound An audio signal can be superimposed upon a carrier wave in broadcasting. The carrier wave is amplitude modulated by the audio signal.
