There are many methods of measuring the amplitude of sound waves.

Amplitude corresponds to the loudness of the sound.

What is high and low amplitude?

The term amplitude is applied to the "strength" of some kind of harmonic motion. It could be mechanical energy, like sound or earthquake waves, or it could be electromagnetic, like radio waves or light. It could even be digital pulses, which are on's and off's. In all cases, the amplitude is a measure of the "power" or the "energy" in that motion or wave.As regards high amplitude and low amplitude, this is a designation as the the "amount" of energy in a wave. There is a "zero" or "reference" in all motions of this kind, and amplitude could be viewed as a deviation from the "norm" in any case where the motion, movement or propagation of the "energy" is observed. Though without specific magnitude, we use "high" to denote "a lot" of energy, and "low" to specify that there is "a little" energy.As regards sound or electromagnetic energy, use the links below to read similar questions and learn more.

What is Source of error in effect of amplitude of a simple pendulum?

One source of error in measuring the effect of amplitude in a simple pendulum could be air resistance, which can introduce discrepancies in the observed amplitude. Another source could be the precision of the measuring instruments used, leading to inaccuracies in recording the amplitude of the pendulum. Additionally, factors such as variations in the length of the string or angular displacement can also contribute to errors in the measurements of the pendulum's amplitude.


What is the units and symbol for amplitude?

The unit for amplitude is the same as the quantity being measured. For example, for sound waves, the unit could be decibels (dB). There is no specific symbol for amplitude as it depends on the context, but it is often represented by "A" or "Α".


What happens when a wave amplitude interferes with another wave amplitude of the same frequency?

They could undergo constructive interference in which the amplitudes of the two waves combine. For example, a wave with an amplitude of 2 units overlaps with another wave with an amplitude of 2 units, the overlapping amplitude will be 4 units. They could also undergo destructive interference in which the amplitude of one wave is 2 units and the amplitude of the second wave is -2 units. At the point where they meet, the combined amplitude will be zero.
