when we hear a high amplitude sound our eardrum vibrates abnormally.this may cause damage to the eardrum problems.Later it won't vibrate if low intensity sounds fall on it.The ultimate result wouls be hearing impairment.

Does amplitude mean louder?
No. Amplitude refers to the height of a wave. If the wave is a sound wave a larger amplitude would mean a louder sound.
What does the amplitude of a wave depend on?
In the case of sound, amplitude is related to volume or loudness.- loud sounds generate waves of larger amplitude and your ear would register sound waves of large amplitude as louder.
Does intensity increase with the amplitude of a sound wave?
Yes, but it would be good when you know what amplitude you really mean.
How does changing the amplitude of a wave impact wave speed?
Amplitude has to do with sound. Vibrating air creates sound using amplitude which is the size of the vibration, and how loud it is. Frequency is the speed of the vibration. The higher the speed, the higher the sound and vice-versa. Amplitude has no effect on wave speed as relates to sound. I believe the same holds for waves of water. Amplitude or size of the wave effects its impact, not its speed.
What does the amplitude look like for a soft sound?
Amplitude is how loud it is. So a soft sound would have a small amplitude. Frequency is the pitch of the sound. High sounds have high frequency. Wavelength is the type of sound. Music wavelengths are in harmony. Changing the wavelength gives us the different words etc that we make.

What does wave amplitude measure?
Wave amplitude is the strong or weak of the wave, like in sound, it would be the volume.
Does intensity increase with the amplitude of a sound wave?
Yes, but it would be good when you know what amplitude you really mean.
How would you describe amplitude to someone learning about sound?
Imagine a vibrating pendulum moving back and forth. Amplitude in sound is the size of the air particles vibration during the sound.
When a sound wave is diffracted is the amplitude always reduced?
No. A wave travelling in the opposite direction would have its amplitude increased.
How does changing the amplitude of a wave impact wave speed?

What would happen to a sound wave if the energy increased?
It becomes louder. The amplitude of the sound wave increases
What are the characteristics of a sound wave that you would interpret as loudness?
Basically, a sound wave is louder if it has a greater amplitude.
A high frequency sound will be heard as?
If the high frequency sound is within hearing range, you can hear it as a high-pitched sound. If it's out of the hearing range you can't hear it, of course.
How is volume changed in sound?
when amplitude is changed [ lets take it as we have increased the amplitude] the frequency increases. the higher the frequency the louder the sound becomes. See I am a student of class 8 & whatever I knew I told u. I hope u would like the answer. Regards Arjun Mittal
