What does the amplitude of a sound wave determine?
Amplitude is the energy of a sound wave, which we also call Loudness
Which of these is associated with a sound's loudness?
Loudness is affected by parameters other than sound pressure, including frequency and duration. also sound wave amplitude
When the loudness of a sound and amplitude of a sound increases the amplitude of the sound produced will be?
The loudness of a sound is the same thing as the overall amplitude of a sound. When measuring sound, in general, you have pitch (frequency) and tone (amplitude, the measure of loudness). So, if you increase the amplitude of a sound wave pattern, you increase the overall intensity of the sound (the energy), and that can be measured on the logarithmic scale of decibels, since an unconstrained, undirected sound wave carries its energy outward in all directions, in an increasing volume of air (or other medium).
The relationship between amplitude and loudness?
Loudness is the quality of a sound that is the primary psychological correlate of the amplitude of sound (physical strength). It is a feeling, which is neither the sound pressure as field quantity nor the acoustic intensity as energy quantity. Scroll down to related links and look at "Loudness - Wikipedia".
How loud a sound seems is determined by what measurement of the sound waves?
Loudness is determined by the amplitude of the sound waves.
How does amplitude affect sound?
Amplitude decides the intensity (loudness) of the sound. Intensity is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude of vibration.
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
Loudness is the human perception of sound wave?
The amplitude of sound waves is what humans perceive as loudness.
What does the amplitude of a sound wave determine?
Amplitude is the energy of a sound wave, which we also call Loudness
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.
What determines the loudness of sound waves?
The amplitude determines the loudness of a sound wave.
What determines the loudness of a sound wave?
The amplitude determines the loudness of a 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.
What depends on the loudness of sound of a sound wave?
The 'Loudness' of a sound wave is dependent on its Amplitude, hence why we have 'amplifiers' to increase the volume of something.
The loudness of a sound is the wave?
The loudness of a sound wave is proportional to the amplitude of the wave, which is to say, the size of the vibration.
How amplitude affects sound?
More amplitude means more loudness of the sound.
What is the loudness or strength of a sound?
AMPLITUDE
