A sound waves amplitude corresponds to the sounds what?
Usually, people are asking as if there is just "the" amplitude in sound waves in air. The loudness perception of a sound is determined by the amplitude of the sound waves − the higher the amplitude, the louder the sound. Which amplitude of sound (sound amplitude) do you mean? There are: amplitude of particle displacement ξ, or displacement amplitude amplitude of sound pressure p or pressure amplitude amplitude of sound particle velocity v, or particle velocity amplitude amplitude of pressure gradient Δ p, or pressure gradient amplitude. Furthermore, think of the amplitude of the oscillation of a string. The maximum magnitude of the deflection of a wave is called amplitude. Look at link: "What is an amplitude?"
What is an amplitude in sound?
Amplitude of a sound wave is the height between the peak (top most part of the wave) and the trough (bottom most part of the wave). So as the wave travels, say on a string, the highest the string or wave moves up minus the lowest the string or wave moves down is the "amplitude" of the wave.
Does amplitude mean louder?
No. Amplitude refers to the height of a wave. If the wave is a sound wave a larger amplitude would mean a louder sound.
What happens to the amplitude of the sound wave as the sound get louder?
Pitch is a characteristic decided by the frequency. So high pitch high frequency. Low frequency is the cause of low Pitch. Frequency and wavelength are always inversely related. So wavelength increases. But amplitude in no way is related to the pitch. Hence amplitude could remain the same.
What does amplitude mean in sound terms?
In sound terms, amplitude refers to the maximum displacement of a sound wave from its resting position. It represents the loudness or volume of the sound, with larger amplitudes corresponding to louder sounds and smaller amplitudes corresponding to softer sounds. Amplitude is measured in decibels (dB).

What would happen if you reduced the amplitude of a sound wave?
Because sound waves are displacements of molecules of the medium they travel through, reducing the amplitude would mean decreasing the displacement the molecules experience as the wave passes through. Even though sound waves are longitudinal (meaning the displacement is in the direction the wave travels in) and waves in water are transversal (the displacement is perpendicular to the wave's direction), an example can be found in water waves; reducing the amplitude in water waves would reduce the size/height of the waves. In the case of audible sound waves reducing the amplitude will decrease the volume of the sound.

what is amplitude?
Amplitude refers to the amount by which something is displaced from the middle of its periodic motion. It can mean the maximum disturbance from the neutral position of a wave. It represents the intensity of a vibration, e.g. the loudness of a sound.
What part of the wave is the amplitude?
Amplitude is the amount of deviation of a wave from the mean position , measured in Y axis when the sound waves are moving along the X axis.
Does amplitude mean louder?
No. Amplitude refers to the height of a wave. If the wave is a sound wave a larger amplitude would mean a louder sound.

Why waves created by large disturbance have a low speed?
Water waves - if that's what you mean - tend to travel at more or less the same speed, independent of their amplitude.
What does amplitude mean In science?
In science, amplitude refers to the maximum displacement or distance from the equilibrium position in a wave or vibration. It is a measure of the strength or intensity of a wave and is often used to describe the loudness of sound waves or the brightness of light waves. Amplitude is typically represented as the height of the wave from its midline.
What does the amplitude of a sound wave indicate?
Amplitude is the maximum extent of vibration of a body from its mean position. The amplitude of a sound wave indicates the loudness of the sound.
What is related to the amount of energy in a sound wave?
Sound waves are mechanical in nature. It means that it needs a material medium so essentially. As sound waves pass through the medium, the material does simple harmonic motion. Hence the energy is related to the amplitude of vibration. Energy is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude. Energy passing through the medium is derived in a formula as 2 pi2 m a2 f2. m- mass of the particle of the medium a-amplitude of vibration and f - the frequency of vibration. So the intensity is the term used to mean the energy of sound waves. It is defined as the energy per unit area crossing in one second.
