I believe that will depend not only on whether the wave is longitudinal, but also on the specific type of wave.

Another word for loudness of sound?
Sound is normally measured is naturally measured in decibels (dB) which is a logarithmic scale.
What db has no sound?
dB is a logarithmic scale, so the answer, basically, is negative infinity.dB is a logarithmic scale, so the answer, basically, is negative infinity.dB is a logarithmic scale, so the answer, basically, is negative infinity.dB is a logarithmic scale, so the answer, basically, is negative infinity.
How is the energy of a sound wave related to its measured value on a decibal scale?
The decibel scale is a logarithmic scale. An increase of 10 points on the decibel scale means that the energy increases by a factor 10; an increase of 20 decibels means an energy increase by a factor of 10 x 10 = 100, etc.
The amplitude of a sound is measured in?
The amplitude of sound is measured in bells, though, more commonly, decibels. 1 decibel is the faintest whisper and 10 is the equivalent of a front row rock concert (or something along those lines).
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.

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).
Can you measure decibels by numbers?
Decibels are measured by numbers - on a logarithmic scale. An increase of 10 bels equals a doubling of the volume of sound.

What is the logarithmic scale that measures sound level?
deciBels
What are some common logarithmic scales?
The Decibal scale for sound measurement is an example of a logarithmic scale. The Richter scale, the pH scale, the magnitude scale for stars, the multiplicative scales on a slide rule
What does amplitude measure?
Sound energy travels in waves and is measured in frequency and amplitude
Is sound measured in speed frequency amplitude or pitch?
All of those are properties of sound, and may be measured.
What is fullform of pH?
It's the amount of hydrogen ions. (P)otential of (H)ydrogen its a log based scale, a logarithmic scale earthquakes are logarithmic, so is sound pressure(decibles)
What separates the scale into equal parts?
Equally spaced subdivisions. However, a scale need not be divided into equal parts. For example, the logarithmic scale which, among other things, is used to measure the volume of sound - in decibels. The musical scale is approximately logarithmic.
Measure of sound?
Sound intensity is measured in a increment called a decibel, and its characteristics are decribed in terms of its frequency , wavelength, and amplitude.
How is the energy of a sound wave related to its measured value on a decibal scale?
The decibel scale is a logarithmic scale. An increase of 10 points on the decibel scale means that the energy increases by a factor 10; an increase of 20 decibels means an energy increase by a factor of 10 x 10 = 100, etc.
