What does the amplitude of a wave tell about a sound?

Amplitude is the maximum displacement of a wave. The amplitude determine the loudness of the sound


On what factor the loudness of sound depend upon?

The loudness of a sound depends on the amount of energy it takes to make the sound and the distance from the source of the sound.


What does the amplitude of a sound wave determine?

Amplitude is the energy of a sound wave, which we also call Loudness


The characteristic of a sound wave that you interpret as loudness is related?

Amplitude is the primary factor in determining the 'loudness' of a sound wave.


What does amplitude determine in light?

amplitude will determine the brightness in light or the loudness in sound.


What could you use to measure the loudness of the sound?

Units used to measure loudness are Sone (loudness N) and Phon (loudness level L). Scroll down to related links and look at "Loudness - Wikipedia" and "Sound level change and the change of the respective factor of volume and loudness".


What does the amplitude of a sound wave determine in a tuning fork?

Loudness or volume.


What units are used to measure sound loudness and softness?

Units used to measure loudness are Sone (loudness N) and Phon (loudness level L). Scroll down to related links and look at "Loudness - Wikipedia" and "Sound level change and the change of the respective factor of volume and loudness".


What factor determines the loudness of a sound?

Frequency of the sound wave ?Amplitude of the sound wave ?The temperature of the medium ?The density of the medium ?


What units is the loudness of sound measured?

What is the unit of the loudness of sound?

Loudness is the quality of a sound that is primarily a psychological correlate of physical strength or amplitude. You can try to measure the sound pressure in decibels. Scroll down to related links and look at "Loudness in sones - Wikipedia ", Loudness level in phon - Wikipedia ", and Subjectivly sensed loudness (volume), objectively measured sound pressure (voltage).


What is the loudest pitch?

Pitch does not determine loudness, and loudness does not determine pitch. Loudness is the measure of sound pressure (dB), while pitch is the frequency at which an object vibrates. You cannot say any pitch is louder than another, because pitch and sound intensity are completely independent of each other.
