The bigger the troughs of the sound wave and height of the wave corresponds to the loudness the higher the wave the louder the sound.

What are three basic components of all signals?
•Amplitude-Height (loudness) of the wave-Measured in decibels (dB)•Frequency:-Number of waves that pass in a second-Measured in Hertz (cycles/second)-Wavelength, the length of the wave from crest to crest, is related to frequency•Phase:-Refers to the point in each wave cycle at which the wave begins (measured in degrees)-(For example, changing a wave's cycle from crest to trough corresponds to a 180 degree phase shift).
Full form of wav?
.wav is an abbreviation for "waveform." A .wav file is created by measuring whether a sound wave is peaking or dipping, and at what amplitude it is at.
what are two ways in which ultrasound technology produces images?
By using sound in frequencies that reflect off body tissues. By measuring the time it takes for the reflected sound wave to be detected. :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) (I made a smiley face man :D)
The material through which a wave travels is?
The material through which a wave travels is called the medium.
Why does your speakers vibrate when it is to loud?
Because you have them too loud. It will ruin your speakers if you keep it up. Actually, they always vibrate - it is the conversion of electrical signals to sound waves that causes the cone of a speaker to move back and forth rapidly, creating the sound wave that we hear. If the vibrate is more of a 'buzz', then the speakers are being pushed beyond their capacity, and will fail, as the original poster noted. Sound IS vibration. The sound waves hit your ear, and they cause your ear muscles to vibrate back and forth, and small organs convert this physical movement back into electrical energy which your brain then recognizes as sound. Sound can not travel in a vaccuum, it needs air or another medium to travel through.
What features of light corresponds to loudness in sound?
The property is the amplitude, which corresponds to loudness for a sound wave or brightness for a light wave.
What characteristic of a sound wave causes the loudness?
The perceived "loudness" of the sound varies directly as the amplitude of the wave.
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.
How can the loudness of a sound be determined by the waves?
The loudness of a sound (or intensity) corresponds to the sound wave's amplitude. The amplitude of a wave is the distance from the midpoint of the wave to a high-point (crest) or low-point (trough).
Which increases if the amplitude of a sound wave increases?
The amplitude of a sound corresponds to its loudness so an increase in amplitude will correspond to a louder sound.
Which wave characteristic is affected by the loudness or the intensity of sound?
Amplitude. (In the particle theory of light, brightness is determined by the number of photons).
How do you think the wave from a loud sound compares to the wave from a soft sound?
The amplitude (The height of the wave) of the wave increases as the sound gets louder.
The characteristic of a sound wave that you interpret as loudness is related to?
Two answers to this: Pressure as in Sound Pressure Level or, Amplitude.
What determines the loudness of a sound wave?
The amplitude determines the loudness of a sound wave.
Which component of the sound wave determines the loudness or softness of a tone?
Amplitude of a sound wave determines LOUDNESS.
Loudness is the human perception of sound wave?
The amplitude of sound waves is what humans perceive as loudness.
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
