The loudness of sound is related to the amplitude (or magnitude) of the vibration that is the sound. The frequency of the sound is not related to its loudness. A certain pitch can be loud or soft. Though some frequencies travel through the air better than others.

How are loudness and amplitude related in the context of sound waves?

Loudness and amplitude are directly related in the context of sound waves. Amplitude refers to the height of a sound wave, which determines its loudness. A greater amplitude results in a louder sound, while a smaller amplitude produces a quieter sound.


Which of these associated with the loudness of sound waves?

The amplitude of sound waves is associated with the loudness of the sound. A larger amplitude produces a louder sound, while a smaller amplitude produces a quieter sound.


How is loudness of sound determined?

The loudness of sound is determined by the amplitude of the sound wave. A larger amplitude produces a louder sound. Decibels (dB) are used to measure loudness on a logarithmic scale.


The loudness of a sound is the wave?

The loudness of a sound wave is proportional to the amplitude of the wave, which is to say, the size of the vibration.


Does the pitch of sound depend on the amplitude of the vibration?

No, the pitch of sound is determined by the frequency of the vibration, not the amplitude. Amplitude affects the loudness or intensity of sound, while frequency affects the pitch.


What is the loudness and softness of sound?

vibration remember please i'm your teacher and i know you are in wiki


Another word for sound?

noise, tone, voice, loudness, vibration, tenor, ringing


Is membranophone a friction?

No, a membranophone is a musical instrument that produces sound through the vibration of a membrane or drumhead. It is not related to friction.


By how much will the loudness of a sound change when the amplitude of a vibration is doubled?

When the amplitude of a vibration is doubled, the loudness of a sound will increase by 6 decibels. This is because the decibel scale is logarithmic, and a doubling of amplitude corresponds to an increase of 6 dB. This means that the sound will be perceived as approximately twice as loud to the human ear.


Does the size of the vibration affect the loudness of the sound?

Yes, the higher the amplitude the higher the sound pressure or sound pressure level. The closer your head is to the sound source the more sound pressure your eardrums get. Feelings are different from person to person. So don't talk of "measuring" the "loudness". You can really measure the sound pressure (amplitude) with a sound pressure level meter. Microphones and eardrums are only sensitive to the sound pressure. Forget the sound intensity. Scroll down to related links and look for more on decreasing of sound pressure with distance.


What characteristic of a sound wave causes the loudness?

The perceived "loudness" of the sound varies directly as the amplitude of the wave.


How does amplitude affect sound?

Amplitude decides the intensity (loudness) of the sound. Intensity is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude of vibration.
