∙ 11y agoThe peak of a sound wave does not usually have another name.
All waves have peaks and troughs. Sometimes the peak is called a crest, but that is mostly for water waves.
We say the amplitude is the size of an oscillation, the size of the peak above the middle level of oscillation.
The peak is related to the intensity, but that is not the same as intensity.

∙ 15y agoThe atmospheric pressure gives the steady-state sound level that can exist. A sound wave is increase of pressure (compression) and pressure decrease (rarefaction) of air. It is impossible to create a pressure of less than zero pascal (vacuum), so the limit is a peak pressure change of 1 atmosphere or 101325 Pa.
Calculation of the max. sound pressure gives: 20*log (101325 Pa/20µPa) = 194 dB SPL peak or 191 dB SPL RMS.

What is the top of a sound wave called?
the top of a sound wave is a crest
Is the white top of a wave?
The crest.
What are the sound wave forms?
The waves in which sound appears is called wave form of sound.
What is a sound wave of a high pressure called?
A sound wave with high sound pressure (amplitude) or high sound particle displacement (amplitude) is a sound wave that has a high loudness.
The distance from the top of one wave to the top of the next wave is called?
This is called wavelength.

What is it called when a sound wave is stretched out?
A stretched-out area of a wave is called a rarefaction.
What the wave height called in physics?
The distance from the rest point to the top is called the amplitude. The top of the wave is called a crest and the bottom of a wave is called a trough.
What are the objects called that allow sound to travel through them?
Sound is a pressure wave. Objects that "allow" sound to travel through them could be called wave guides.
A bounced sound wave is called?
A bounced sound wave is acalled an echo. You can hear these echos when you yell into a cave or a crevasse or an abyss.

wavelength
