How do the amplitudes of a 120-decibel sound and a 100-decibel sound compare?

-- A difference of 20 dB means the louder one is delivering 100 times as much
power as the softer one is.
-- The power delivered by any sinusoidal phenomenon is usually proportional to
the square of the amplitude. So the amplitudes would have to be in the ratio of
10 to 1. The louder one has 10 times the amplitude of the softer one.

Does the sound waves probably have small or large amplitudes?
well my answer is the larger amplitude.
What are sound wave amplitudes?
the amplitude of a wave is measured from the peak to trough from a given period.
What are two sound waves with the same frequencies and different amplitudes?
Same pitch but with different loudness
How do the amplitudes of a decibel sound and a 100-decibel sound compare?
The power or intensity of the louder one is 10 billion times the power or intensity of the softer one. Since the power or intensity is typically proportional to the square of the wave amplitude, the amplitude of the louder one is a mere 100,000 times the amplitude of the softer one.
When sound waves interfere to create standing wave the points on the medium that move up and down with the largest amplitudes are called?
ANTINODES
How are sound waves made?
sound waves are made by amplitudes
How is sound transimitted?
Sound is the compression of molecules and atoms in waves which can have different frequencies amplitudes and wavelengths that determine how we interpret the sound.

If tow sound waves have the sames frequeency but different amplitudes describe what you would here?
louder and softer

Can the amplitude of a sound wave can be described by a centigrade scale?
No, centigrade is a unit of temperature, not amplitudes.No, centigrade is a unit of temperature, not amplitudes.No, centigrade is a unit of temperature, not amplitudes.No, centigrade is a unit of temperature, not amplitudes.

ANTINODES
What properties of sound is determined by the strength of the vibrations creating the sound?
We can perceive different sound volumes because sound waves have differing amplitudes.
When sound waves interfere to create standing waves the points on the medium that move up and down with the largest amplitudes are called nodes?
false antinodes
