Which is a similarity between loudness and pitch?

There is no similarity. Loudness has to do with sound pressure amplitude coming from the sound source. Pitch has to do with the frequency of the tone the sound source is making. Loudness cannot be pitch.


What is the relationship between intensity and the loudness of sound?

Sound intensity or acoustic intensity can be calculated from the objective measurement of the sound pressure. The loudness is a psycho-acoustic subjective feeling, which is difficult to measure.


How loud is 49dB?

L = 49 dB SPL (Sound pressure level) is a sound pressure of p = 0.005636766.The sensed loudness is a psycho acoustical quantity.


Which relation is there between wavelength and height?

There is no relation between wave length and wave height. You can change the wave height independently from the wave length. Wave height tells you which amplitude the wave has. If you think of sound that means how loud it is. The wave length tells you the pitch or the frequency of this sound, that means high or low sound. Long wavelength means bass sound and short wavelength means treble sound.


What is the difference between loudness and pitch of sound?

Amplitude versus frequencyLoudness is a function of the sound wave's amplitude of the sound pressure. Aour ear drums are moved by the sound pressure.The greater the amplitude, the greater the volume. Pitch is related to its frequency. The higher the frequency, the higher the pitch.Loudness = amplitude of the sound pressureSoftest soundLoudest soundPitch = frequencyLowest pitchHighest pitch

What is the characteristic of a sound wave that corresponds to loudness?

The bigger the troughs of the sound wave and height of the wave corresponds to the loudness the higher the wave the louder the sound.


What does the amplitude of a sound wave indicate?

Amplitude is the maximum extent of vibration of a body from its mean position. The amplitude of a sound wave indicates the loudness of the sound.

What carries sound to a person?

What is the relation between loudness and frequency of sound?

From what I know from highschool/early university simple harmonic motions, I believe that there is no necessary link between loudness and frequency. Frequency (the number of times a wave completes an oscillation or cycle in one second) decides the pitch of the sound, while amplitude (the difference in height between the highest point in the sound wave and the lowest point) decides the loudness of the sound.
