The amount of energy in a sound wave is related to its what?

The amount of energy in a sound wave is related to its amplitude, which is the height of the wave from its baseline. The larger the amplitude, the more energy the sound wave carries.


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).


What is the energy in a sound wave called?

The energy in a sound wave is called acoustic energy. It is the mechanical energy that is transmitted through a medium in the form of sound waves.


What is determined by the amount of energy a sound wave carries?

The intensity of a sound, which determines its loudness, is determined by the amount of energy a sound wave carries. This energy is influenced by the amplitude of the wave, with higher amplitudes corresponding to louder sounds.


Is the amount of energy in a sound wave is called amplitude?

No; depending on how you look at it, the amplitude is how much particles move back and forth, OR how much the pressure changes, as a sound wave goes through. Other things being equal, more amplitude means more energy, but amplitude is not the only factor. Also, and once again if other things are equal, energy is proportional to the SQUARE of the amplitude.


What is the Perceived amount of energy in a sound wave?

The perceived amount of energy in a sound wave is related to its amplitude, which corresponds to the loudness of the sound. The higher the amplitude of a sound wave, the louder it will be perceived. Energy is also related to frequency - higher frequency sound waves are perceived as more energetic or "brighter" in quality.


The amount of energy a sound wave carries per second through a unit area is its?

The number of sound waves per unit time is called the frequency of the wave.


Is the loudness of a sound is called its intensity?

Yes the loudness of a sound is called its intensity.


What do you call the amount of energy in a sound wave?

Sound energy density or sound density is the sound energy per unit volume (according to Wikipedia).


What is related to the amplitude of sound?

The amplitude of a sound wave is what we perceive as volume. It is the amount of energy "carried" within each period of the wave.


Is frequency of a sound wave defined as the amount of energy passing through a unit area of the wave front in a unit of time?

No, the frequency of a sound wave is the number of wave cycles that pass a given point in one second, measured in hertz. It represents how many times a sound wave repeats in a specific period of time, not the amount of energy passing through a unit area in a unit of time.


What Property of sound depends on the amount of energy a sound wave has as it reaches our ears?

I don't understand your questions. I know that our ear drums and the microphone diaphragms are moved directly by the sound pressure p, that is a sound field quantity. Forget the sound energy quantities when you talk about ears.
