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.


A sound waves amplitude corresponds to the sounds what?

Usually, people are asking as if there is just "the" amplitude in sound waves in air. The loudness perception of a sound is determined by the amplitude of the sound waves − the higher the amplitude, the louder the sound. Which amplitude of sound (sound amplitude) do you mean? There are: amplitude of particle displacement ξ, or displacement amplitude amplitude of sound pressure p or pressure amplitude amplitude of sound particle velocity v, or particle velocity amplitude amplitude of pressure gradient Δ p, or pressure gradient amplitude. Furthermore, think of the amplitude of the oscillation of a string. The maximum magnitude of the deflection of a wave is called amplitude. Look at link: "What is an amplitude?"


What does aplitude mean in sound?

In sound, amplitude refers to the magnitude of a sound wave, often linked to its loudness. It is measured as the maximum displacement of the wave from its resting position. Higher amplitudes result in louder sounds, while lower amplitudes produce softer sounds.


What happens to the volume of a sound wave as its amplitude decrease?

As the amplitude of a sound wave decreases, the volume or loudness of the sound also decreases. This is because amplitude is directly related to the intensity of the sound wave, which in turn affects how loud the sound is perceived. So, a lower amplitude results in a quieter sound.


What does amplitude mean in sound terms?

In sound terms, amplitude refers to the maximum displacement of a sound wave from its resting position. It represents the loudness or volume of the sound, with larger amplitudes corresponding to louder sounds and smaller amplitudes corresponding to softer sounds. Amplitude is measured in decibels (dB).

Is a sound quieter when a vibration is smaller?

No. If a vibration is smaller, the sound is higher pitched. To get a quieter sound the amplitude of the sound-wave needs to be smaller. +++ It depends whether you mean amplitude or wavelength being "smaller", and they are two different things. If the vibration's amplitude is smaller the sound is quieter irrespective of frequency. If the vibration is more rapid, the frequency is higher but the wavelength correspondingly smaller irrespective of amplitude.

What does it mean when a wave has a large amplitude?

Bigger the amplitude, bigger the wave.


Does lower frequency mean more energy for amplitude?

No, lower frequency does not necessarily mean more energy for amplitude. The energy of a wave is determined by its amplitude, not its frequency. The amplitude of a wave is the height of its peaks and determines the intensity or energy of the wave.


What does a high amplitude mean in nerve conduction studies?

Amplitude is not that important. If anything the area under the curve would be more informative. A good amplitude does mean a good recording though.


What is an amplitude in sound?

Amplitude of a sound wave is the height between the peak (top most part of the wave) and the trough (bottom most part of the wave). So as the wave travels, say on a string, the highest the string or wave moves up minus the lowest the string or wave moves down is the "amplitude" of the wave.


The strength of a sound wave determines what aspect of hearing?

The strength of a sound wave, or its amplitude, determines how loud the sound is perceived to be by the human ear. Higher amplitudes correspond to louder sounds, while softer sounds have lower amplitudes.
