Why does sound get louder when amplitude is increased?
Because there is a relationship between the amplitude of a sound wave and loudness of a sound.
What is the difference between amplitude and wavelength when it comes to sound?
Amplitude means length between two successive compressions or rarefactions Wavelenth
What are the characteristics of sound waves?
The characteristics of a sound wave is the Amplitude, Frequency, Wavelength, time period, and velocity. The sound wave itself is a longitudinal wave that shows the rarefactions and compressions of a sound wave.
Which of these is associated with a sound's loudness?
Loudness is affected by parameters other than sound pressure, including frequency and duration. also sound wave amplitude
When a sound wave is diffracted is the amplitude always reduced?
No. A wave travelling in the opposite direction would have its amplitude increased.
Does a sound wave with a large amplitude transfer more frequency than a sound wave with a small amplitude?
No it doesn't. The amplitude is the distance of the crest/trough from the rest axis. The frequency is the rate at which the wave "pulsates". If the waves are closer together, then the frequency is increased. If the waves are bigger in width, the amplitude is increased.
What happens when sound gets louder?
It means that the amplitude of the soundwaves is increased, or is increasing if the sound continues to get louder.
What difference does it make if the sound is increased to an ear?
Because of your ear lobe you can hear the sound of low amplitude.
What would happen to a sound wave if the energy increased?
It becomes louder. The amplitude of the sound wave increases
How do you change the volume of a sound made in a harp?
You bang the strings harder. Than the amplitude of the sound pressure is increased.
What affects the pitch of the sound?
The pitch of sound is affected by all of these things.The amplitude,the frequency, and the loudness. The pitch of sound is also affected by the length and width of the vessel producing the sound, e.g. pipes.
If the amplitude of a wave is increased then the energy that a wave carries what?
Also increases.
