What is the minimum intensity a sound can have?
The minimum of sound intensity can be theoretically as low as zero decibels. But you seem to mean what the human threshold of hearing is. That reference sound intensity is 10^−12 W/m² equal to 0 dB sound intensity level. Our eardrums are moved by the sound pressure. The reference sound pressure at the human threshold of hearing is po = 20 µPa equal to 0 dB sound pressure level (SPL).
What wave property is related to sound intensity?
Sound intensity is related to the amplitude of the sound wave, which is the measure of the maximum displacement of particles in a medium from their rest position. The greater the amplitude of a sound wave, the higher the intensity of the sound.
Is the loudness of a sound is called its intensity?
Yes the loudness of a sound is called its intensity.
What is the maximum level of sound intensity, measured in decibels, that can cause permanent hearing damage, such as 1100 dB sound?
The maximum level of sound intensity that can cause permanent hearing damage is around 120-130 decibels. Sound intensity of 1100 dB is extremely high and would cause immediate and severe damage to hearing.
What is the amplitude of a sound wave a measure of?
The amplitude of a sound wave is the measure of the intensity of the sound, such as loudness.

How the term intensity decibel and amplitude are related?
They are all measueres of sound waves. Amplitude is the term for the maximum difference in pressures between the peaks and troughs of a sound wave. Intensity is a measure of the energy content of a wave, and is proportional to amplitude squared. The decibel is an anthropic (based on human senses) measure of sound intensity, proportional to the logarithm of intensity.
What wave property is related to sound intensity?
Sound intensity is related to the amplitude of the sound wave, which is the measure of the maximum displacement of particles in a medium from their rest position. The greater the amplitude of a sound wave, the higher the intensity of the sound.
Is the loudness of a sound is called its intensity?
Yes the loudness of a sound is called its intensity.
What is the maximum sound level is safe for human ear in DB?
What is the maximum sound level is safe for human ear
What is the maximum level of sound intensity, measured in decibels, that can cause permanent hearing damage, such as 1100 dB sound?
The maximum level of sound intensity that can cause permanent hearing damage is around 120-130 decibels. Sound intensity of 1100 dB is extremely high and would cause immediate and severe damage to hearing.
The human perception of sound intensity is called?
The human perception of sound intensity is called loudness. Loudness is influenced by the amplitude or energy of the sound wave and is measured in decibels (dB).
What gives a sound wave its pitch and intensity?
A sound wave's pitch is determined by its frequency; that is its cycles per unit of time. The sound wave's intensity or volume is determined by its amplitude; the maximum crest of a sound wave.
What is the amplitude of a sound wave a measure of?
The amplitude of a sound wave is the measure of the intensity of the sound, such as loudness.
What is sound intensity measured in?
Reference sound intensity Io = 10^−12 W/m² (Threshold of human hearing). Reference sound intensity level LIo = 0 dB-SIL (Threshold of human hearing intensity level). The sound intensity I is measured in watts per meter squared. The sound intensity LI level is measured in decibels (dB).
What is the relationship between sound intensity and the logarithmic decibel scale?
The relationship between sound intensity and the logarithmic decibel scale is that the decibel scale measures sound intensity levels in a way that reflects the human perception of sound. Sound intensity increases exponentially on the decibel scale, with each 10 decibel increase representing a tenfold increase in sound intensity.
What is the relationship between the intensity of sound waves and their effect on human hearing?
The intensity of sound waves is directly related to their effect on human hearing. Higher intensity sound waves can cause damage to the delicate structures in the ear, leading to hearing loss or other auditory issues. Lower intensity sound waves are less likely to cause harm to the ear.
