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.

What primarily depends on the intensity of sound?

The intensity of sound primarily depends on the amplitude of the sound wave. A higher amplitude corresponds to a louder sound. Sound intensity is measured in decibels (dB) and is perceived by our ears as volume.


What two factors dos loudness depend on?

The loudness of a sound depends on the amplitude of the sound waves, which is related to the intensity or power of the sound source. It also depends on the distance between the sound source and the listener, as sound waves lose intensity as they travel through space.


What is the loundness of a sound depends on the of the sound wave?

The loudness of a sound depends on the amplitude of the sound wave. Amplitude determines the intensity of the sound, with greater amplitudes producing louder sounds.


The loudness of a sound wave is determined by its?

By its amplitude. Really loudness is sound intensity & intensity depends on square of amplitude ie. higher the amplitude higher the intensity which means higher the loudness.


How is intensity related to loudness?

Assuming we are talking about sound, intensity measures the power in a sound wave. Mathematically, it is the product of the sound pressure and the particle velocity, and is measured in watts per square meter. Loudness usually refers to the (subjective) perception of sound intensity by people. It is related to intensity, but also depends upon frequency. The human ear perceives increases in sound intensity roughly on a logarithmic scale, so for example the sound intensity needs to increase by about a factor of ten to create the perception that the sound is twice as loud. This is the motivation for the decibel system, which measures sound intensity on a logarithmic scale.

Why sound intensity depends on temperature?

Does it? Really?


Intensity depends on amplitude and also on?

When talking about sound, the intensity of the sound is calculated the sound pressure multiplied by the velocity. It doesn't use amplitude in its calculation.


What distance is the sound intensity level 25dB?

Sound intensity level is measured in decibels (dB) and does not directly correspond to a distance. The sound intensity level only quantifies the power of sound. The distance at which a specific sound intensity level of 25 dB would be heard depends on various factors such as the surroundings, obstacles, and the characteristics of the sound source.

What is the intensity of a sound wave called?

The intensity of a sound wave is called sound intensity. It measures the amount of energy transmitted by the sound wave per unit area. Sound intensity is measured in decibels (dB).
