Not sure what formula you are looking for. Wave intensity is given by the amplitude of the wave.

What happens to the intensity of a wave if the amplitude decreases?
Intensity of a wave is proportional to the frequency squared and amplitude squared based on this formula; I=1/2pw^2A^2V where p is the density of the medium, w is the angular frequency and A is the amplitude and V is the wave velocity. So, everything else remaining constant, decreasing the amplitude will decrease a waves intensity. Example decreasing the the amplitude by a factor of 4 will decrease the wave intensity by a factor of 8.
What is the intensity of a sound wave called?
intensity level
How does the amplitude affect the energy of a wave?
The intensity will increase if the energy increase. The intensity is proportional to the square of the amplitude of a wave.
Which wave characteristic is most related to sound wave intensity?
Amplitude (the height of the wave)
Does the intensity of a wave increases when its amplitude decrease?
Intensity of a wave is proportional to the square of its amlitude so it should decrese when the amplitude is decreased.

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
A amplitude of a wave related to?
Amplitude is related to the intensity because square of the amplitude is proportional to the intensity of the wave.
Is there a scale used to measure the intensity of a heat wave?
is there a scale used to measure the intensity of heat wave
How does the amplitude affect the energy of a wave?
The intensity will increase if the energy increase. The intensity is proportional to the square of the amplitude of a wave.
Intensity of the wave vs. the speed of the wave?
height is the intensity, the distance covered by a wave divided by the time it takes is the speed. (ie. short waves = low intensity, fat waves = slow waves)
Which wave characteristic is most related to sound wave intensity?
Amplitude (the height of the wave)
What is the dimensional formula of intensity of wave?
Power / area is often used (watts / square meter, in SI units). Power, in turn, is energy / time.
Does the intensity of a wave increases when its amplitude decrease?
Intensity of a wave is proportional to the square of its amlitude so it should decrese when the amplitude is decreased.
The measure of a waves intensity?
The measure of the intensity of a wave is referred to as its amplitude.
