How is intensity related to loudness?

Assuming we are talking about sound, intensity measures the power in a sound wave. Mathematically, it is the product of the sound pressure and the particle velocity, and is measured in watts per square meter. Loudness usually refers to the (subjective) perception of sound intensity by people. It is related to intensity, but also depends upon frequency. The human ear perceives increases in sound intensity roughly on a logarithmic scale, so for example the sound intensity needs to increase by about a factor of ten to create the perception that the sound is twice as loud. This is the motivation for the decibel system, which measures sound intensity on a logarithmic scale.


What is a sliding scale lease?

A sliding scale lease is a flexible leasing agreement where rent payments are adjusted based on predetermined criteria, such as the tenant's revenue, performance, or other agreed-upon factors. The rent amount can increase or decrease periodically to reflect changes in the specified criteria, providing both the landlord and tenant with a degree of financial flexibility.


What is the relationship between intensity and frequency?

I assume you are asking in regard to the photoelectric effect. The intensity of the photons can be viewed as the brightness of the light. However, the frequency is the number of wavelengths that pass a certain point in a second. The frequency is also used to determine the energy of the photon (E=hf).


If Celsius is based upon water's melting point 0 degrees Celsius and water's boiling point 100 degrees Celsius what is Fahrenheit based upon?

In Fahrenheit, 32°F is the freezing point of the water and the boiling point is 212°F. Fahrenheit for unknown reasons calibrated his scale so that 0 was the freezing point of salt water and 100 was the internal temperature in his mouth.


What is different between loudness and intensity?

Loudness of sound: Loudness is that characteristic of sound by which we can distinguish between a loud and a faint sound.It depends upon amplitude, area of vibrating body, intensity and condition of ear. Intensity of sound: Sound energy flowing per second through a unit area held perpendicularly to the direction of sound waves is called the intensity of sound.Its unit is W/m2.

Which weather rating scale measures the intensity of a tornado based upon the damage that it causes?

Originally the Fujita scale was created to measure this. More recently the Enhanced Fujita Scale was created to serve the main function.


What does the mercili scale measures?

The Mercalli scale is a way of measuring the intensity of damage of an earthquake. It is based upon set criteria. This scale might be used rather than the Richter Scal because the mercalli scale is based upon the observed damages, not set scientific data.

tornado formation is not based on temperature, but upon storm structure. you cannot use temperature to determine tornados

Compare magnitude and intensity?

If you are speaking of earthquakes, read on. Magnitude is the level of ground movement that occurs during a quake. It is measured using seismographs and expressed using the Richter Scale. Intensity is based upon many factors, mainly damage caused and how many people felt it/what it felt like. It is expressed using a scale in roman numerals that goes up to twelve. (though I cannot recall the name of the scale, if it had one)


What can conflicts be based upon how its intensity is managed or resolved and its impact on the organizations performance?

Conflicts need to be resolved with the right intensity. If not, the company runs the risk of upsetting their employees and affecting organization performance.

The atomic weight scale is based upon international aggrement that?

Carbon-12 weighs exactly 12 atomic Mass units


The atomic weight scale is based upon international agreement that?

the atomic weight scale is based upon the relative atomic masses of elements compared to carbon-12, which has an assigned value of 12. This standardization allows for consistency and accuracy in comparing the masses of different elements.

A regional metamorphic belt is divided into zones based upon what?

A regional metamorphic belt is divided into zones based upon the temperature and pressure conditions experienced by the rocks during their formation. These zones help geologists understand the intensity of metamorphism and the types of minerals present in the rocks.


What is the Saffir Simpson hurricane scale and why is it important?

The Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale is a means of rating hurricanes based on wind speed. The scale is useful, as based on a hurricane's category it is possible to have an idea of how much damage it might do.
