It is referred to as volume because the button that we use to control it, is commonly labeled, volume.

A sound source radiates power P and this results in a sound pressure p. Sound power is the cause - Sound pressure is the effect.

What is the unit for the for the volume of sound?

The volume of a sound is measured by the sound pressure in pascals or newtons per square meter. The sound pressure level is measured by a sound pressure level meter (SPL meter).

What is scfh units?

"SCFH" stands for Standard Cubic Feet per Hour. This is a volumetric flow rate which is used for gases such as air. Since the volume of gases can change dramatically by pressure, a "Standard" is needed to bring the volume to a commonly known value (at sea level). The volume for liquids is typically incompressible and thus does not need a "standard" pressure when calculating volume or volumetric flow rates.


What is the most common name for ground level ozone pollution?

Ground level ozone pollution is commonly referred to as smog.


What determines the volume of sound?

The volume of a sound is measured by the sound pressure in pascals or newtons per square meter. The sound pressure level is measured by a sound pressure level meter (SPL meter).


What does sound level meter measure?

A sound level meter measures the intensity of sound in terms of decibels (dB). It provides a numerical value that indicates the volume or loudness of noise in the environment. Sound level meters are commonly used to assess noise levels in various settings such as workplaces, public spaces, and homes.


What is hyperbolic pressure?

Hyperbolic pressure typically refers to an exaggerated or heightened level of pressure in a given situation or context. It is commonly used to describe intense stress, tension, or urgency.


What is the weight of pushing down on an area?

the average at sea level is 14.7 psi. "weight" of air is referred to as atmospheric pressure.


The volume V of a gas varies inversely with the pressure P What happens to the volume of the gas if the pressure is tripled?

The equation is P1V1=P2V2. (P1 is pressure before the change, P2 is the pressure after, V1 is the volume before the change, and V2 is the volume after it.) So to solve it, it would be the same change no matter how much the volume and pressure were to begin with. The values are P1= 1 atmosphere (the pressure of air at sea level) V1= 1 Liter which would mean P2=3 atmospheres 1*1=3(V2) 1/3 Liter= V2. So the volume would be one third of what it was before the pressure was tripled.


How is sound volume measured?

Loudness is the quality of a sound that is the primary psychological correlate of physical strength or amplitude. Loudness is a subjective felt impression and is in some way related to the objective measure (volume) of the sound pressure. You use a sound pressure level meter. Neither our ear drums nor the microphone diaphragms can convert acoustic intensity. Therefore only use the sound pressure for measuring. To measure the loudness feeling is a difficult thing. The loudness of 1 sone equals the loudness level of 40 phons (at 1 kHz).


What is the pressure detector placed in a vessel to measure the level of a liquid?

A pressure detector placed in a vessel to measure liquid level uses the principle that the pressure at a specific depth in a liquid is proportional to the height of the liquid above it. By measuring the pressure at the bottom of the vessel, the detector can calculate the liquid level. This method is commonly used in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and wastewater treatment.


What is the standard atmosphere conditions for water to boil at 212 degrees Fahrenheit?

Water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit at standard atmospheric pressure, which is equivalent to 1 atmosphere or 14.7 pounds per square inch (psi). This is commonly referred to as the boiling point of water at sea level.
