What is most often used to measure the intensity of a sound?
The intensity of sound is most often measured by the Decibel meter. It can also be called the sound level meter or the dB Meter. It is used to accurately and objectively measure the sound or noise that one can hear.
What sound intensity level would you expect to be painful to most humans?
120 decibels
How will decreasing the amplitude of the sound waves from a TV affect its intensity?
Amplitude is intensity. It refers to the strength of a sound wave, which the human ear interprets as volume or loudness and if you decrease the amplitude you also decrease its intensity.
What instrument measures sound intensity?
An oscilloscope measures electrical signal amplitude and wavelength. A decibel or sound-level meter. A cheap one is available at your local Walmart for about $20 located in the car audio section. If not instore, online. They make much better ones, but if you are looking to just get a rough idea, this is the way to go.
What is the energy of a sound wave most closely related to?
It is most closely related to its amplitude (loudness, magnitude) because this is determined by the energy used to create the sound. Louder noises generally take more energy to create.
Unit of sound intensity?
The unit of sound intensity I is watts per meter squared (W/m²). Sound intensity is a sound energy quantity. Sound pressure deviations are moving our eardrums. The unit of sound pressure p is pascals (Pa) or newton per meter squared (N/m²). Sound pressure is a sound field quantity. Another answer: The most common unit of sound intensity is the decibel (dB). Reply: No! We got the sound intensity measured in W/m² and the sound intensity level we measure in decibels (dB). The question was "sound intensity".

What do you mean by intensity value?
The word "intensity" can be synonymous with "strength", "amplitude", or "level", as it sometimes is in colloquial speech. It is possible to define the intensity of the water coming from a garden sprinkler, but intensity is used most frequently with waves - i.e. sound or light.
What characteristic of culture is most related to communication between people?
language
Which is a characteristic of most traditional societies?
Religious beliefs and social organization are closely related
What is the pitch of a sound is most closely related to?
Frequency

Which factor affects most in transpiration-humidity or light intensity?
Light intensity
What organ in the perch fish is most closely related in function to a human's ear?
The lateral lines are most closely related to the human ear. They detect vibrations not sound.
