The smallest unit of sound wave energy is the phonon. The phonon and the photon and the electron can in some ways all behave like a small particle.

Is frequency of a sound wave defined as the amount of energy passing through a unit area of the wave front in a unit of time?

No, the frequency of a sound wave is the number of wave cycles that pass a given point in one second, measured in hertz. It represents how many times a sound wave repeats in a specific period of time, not the amount of energy passing through a unit area in a unit of time.


What do you call the amount of energy in a sound wave?

Sound energy density or sound density is the sound energy per unit volume (according to Wikipedia).


WHAT of a sound wave is defined as the amount of energy passing through a unit area of the wave front in a unit of time?

frequency


Is the amount of energy in a sound wave per unit of time and is also related to the loudness of a sound.?

Yes, it is.


The amount of energy a sound wave carries per second through a unit area is its?

The number of sound waves per unit time is called the frequency of the wave.


What is the intensity of a sound wave called?

The intensity of a sound wave is called sound intensity. It measures the amount of energy transmitted by the sound wave per unit area. Sound intensity is measured in decibels (dB).


The amount of energy a sound wave carries persecond through a unit area is its?

The amount of energy a sound wave carries per second through a unit area is its intensity. Intensity is measured in watts per square meter (W/m^2) and is a measure of sound energy flux.


Amount of energy a sound wave carries per second through a unit area?

Sound intensity is the amount of energy a sound wave carries per unit area per second. It is typically measured in units of watts per square meter (W/m^2). The intensity of a sound wave is proportional to the square of the sound wave's amplitude.


The amount of energy in a sound wave is related to its what?

The amount of energy in a sound wave is related to its amplitude, which is the height of the wave from its baseline. The larger the amplitude, the more energy the sound wave carries.


What is the relationship between the energy of a sound wave and its amplitude?

The energy of a sound wave is directly proportional to its amplitude. This means that as the amplitude of a sound wave increases, so does its energy.


When a sound wave is absorbed its sound energy is changed into what?

When a sound wave is absorbed, its sound energy is typically converted into low-level heat energy.


Are sound waves in solar energy?

No, sound wave is translating wave of the matter. The solar energy is the wave carried by photon which is an energy (non-matter). There is no way a sound wave would be carried in the stream of photon.
