What measure is used for sound and noise?
The most common measure used for sound and noise is decibels (dB). Decibels measure the intensity or loudness of a sound, with different levels corresponding to different sounds and their impact on human hearing.
Which wave characteristic is most related to sound wave intensity?
Sound wave intensity is most closely related to the amplitude of the wave, which measures the strength or height of the wave. Greater amplitude corresponds to greater intensity, or louder sound.
What instrument measures sound intensity?
An oscilloscope measures electrical signal amplitude and wavelength. A decibel or sound-level meter. A cheap one is available at your local Walmart for about $20 located in the car audio section. If not instore, online. They make much better ones, but if you are looking to just get a rough idea, this is the way to go.
How will decreasing the amplitude of the sound waves from a TV affect its intensity?
Decreasing the amplitude of the sound waves will decrease the intensity of the sound coming from the TV. Intensity is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude, so reducing the amplitude will result in a corresponding decrease in intensity. This means that the sound will be quieter.
What sound intensity level would you expect to be painful to most humans?
Most humans find sound intensity levels above 120 dB to be painful. Prolonged exposure to sounds at this level can cause hearing damage and discomfort.
Unit of sound intensity?
The unit of sound intensity I is watts per meter squared (W/m²). Sound intensity is a sound energy quantity. Sound pressure deviations are moving our eardrums. The unit of sound pressure p is pascals (Pa) or newton per meter squared (N/m²). Sound pressure is a sound field quantity. Another answer: The most common unit of sound intensity is the decibel (dB). Reply: No! We got the sound intensity measured in W/m² and the sound intensity level we measure in decibels (dB). The question was "sound intensity".

What do you mean by intensity value?
The word "intensity" can be synonymous with "strength", "amplitude", or "level", as it sometimes is in colloquial speech. It is possible to define the intensity of the water coming from a garden sprinkler, but intensity is used most frequently with waves - i.e. sound or light.
What is the most common unit of measure for a sound wave?
Hertz.
Determined by the amount of energy a sound wave carries?
A radio going in the background will be radiating a few tens of milliWatts of sound from its speakers. [Loudspeakers are rather inefficient, particularly so for high quality ones. 10% would be a good figure, - perhaps 3% for a high quality one.] So a say 60 Watt (RMS) amplifier and appropriate speakers; which would sound really loud; would be radiating a few watts of sound.
What is the volume of a sound most closely associated with of a wave?
The volume of a sound is most closely associated with the amplitude of the wave. The greater the amplitude of the sound wave, the louder the volume perceived by our ears. Amplitude measures the intensity or strength of the sound wave, which directly correlates with how loud the sound is.
Which do you think is the most important measure of earthquakes strength or intensity?
The most important measure of an earthquake's strength is often considered to be the moment magnitude scale (Mw), as it provides a more accurate representation of the earthquake's energy release than the Richter scale. Moment magnitude accounts for factors such as the area of the fault that slipped and the amount of slip, making it applicable to a wider range of earthquake sizes. While intensity measurements, like the Modified Mercalli Intensity scale, assess the effects of an earthquake on people and structures, they are subjective and can vary by location. Therefore, for understanding the actual energy released, moment magnitude is the preferred measure.
What letters spell the long you sound most often?
