The loudness has to do with the sound field quantity called sound pressure or sound pressure level (SPL). The sound intensity or acoustic intensity means the sound energy quantity. Our ears and the microphone diaphragms are moved by the sound pressure variations.

∙ 14y agoIf you listen to music, avoid the word intensity, because your eardrums are moved by the sound pressure wave in the the air. A sound pressure level meter (SPL) uses the sound pressure too. Sound pressure is a sound field quantity. If you are a noise fighter, then you use the word sound intensity for your calculations of your sound barriers. Sound intensity is a sound energy quantity. Sound intensity is not sound pressure.

What determines the loudness of a sound wave?
The amplitude determines the loudness of a sound wave.
Which wave characteristic is affected by the loudness or the intensity of sound?
Amplitude. (In the particle theory of light, brightness is determined by the number of photons).
What is the property of a wave that determines volume or loudness?
Amplitude of the wave decides the loudness Frequency of the wave stands for the pitch of the sound
What does amplitude of a sound wave determine?
Amplitude is the volume of the sound in sound waves. The higher the Amplitude, the louder is the sound. Sound waves are pressure or compression waves in the material through which the sound is traveling. The pressure or compression waves also result in small longitudinal displacements of the atoms or molecules. The amplitude of the sound wave determines the range of variation of pressure, compression, or displacement.
What does the amplitude of a wave tell about a sound?
Amplitude is the maximum displacement of a wave. The amplitude determine the loudness of the sound
What determines the loudness of a sound wave?
The amplitude determines the loudness of a sound wave.
What determines the loudness of sound waves?
The amplitude determines the loudness of a sound wave.
What determines volume.?
The amplitude of a sound wave.
Which component of the sound wave determines the loudness or softness of a tone?
Amplitude of a sound wave determines LOUDNESS.
The amplitude of a sound wave determines the sounds of what?
the strength or volume of the sound wave :)
What property of a sound wave governs its pitch its loudness its quality?
amplitude The amplitude of a sound wave determines its loudness or volume. A larger amplitude means a louder sound, and a smaller amplitude means a softer sound.
Which characteristic of sound is associated with frequency?
We perceive the loudness of a sound wave as a consequence of its amplitude. The frequency of a sound wave determines the pitch we perceive.
What factors determines the loudness of sound?
Frequency of the sound wave ?Amplitude of the sound wave ?The temperature of the medium ?The density of the medium ?
