The bigger the troughs of the sound wave and height of the wave corresponds to the loudness the higher the wave the louder the sound.

What are three basic components of all signals?

•Amplitude-Height (loudness) of the wave-Measured in decibels (dB)•Frequency:-Number of waves that pass in a second-Measured in Hertz (cycles/second)-Wavelength, the length of the wave from crest to crest, is related to frequency•Phase:-Refers to the point in each wave cycle at which the wave begins (measured in degrees)-(For example, changing a wave's cycle from crest to trough corresponds to a 180 degree phase shift).


Full form of wav?

.wav is an abbreviation for "waveform." A .wav file is created by measuring whether a sound wave is peaking or dipping, and at what amplitude it is at.


what are two ways in which ultrasound technology produces images?

By using sound in frequencies that reflect off body tissues. By measuring the time it takes for the reflected sound wave to be detected. :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) (I made a smiley face man :D)


The material through which a wave travels is?

The material through which a wave travels is called the medium.


Why does your speakers vibrate when it is to loud?

Because you have them too loud. It will ruin your speakers if you keep it up. Actually, they always vibrate - it is the conversion of electrical signals to sound waves that causes the cone of a speaker to move back and forth rapidly, creating the sound wave that we hear. If the vibrate is more of a 'buzz', then the speakers are being pushed beyond their capacity, and will fail, as the original poster noted. Sound IS vibration. The sound waves hit your ear, and they cause your ear muscles to vibrate back and forth, and small organs convert this physical movement back into electrical energy which your brain then recognizes as sound. Sound can not travel in a vaccuum, it needs air or another medium to travel through.

What is The part of a sound wave that you hear as loudness?

The amplitude of a sound wave is what you perceive as loudness. A larger amplitude corresponds to a louder sound, while a smaller amplitude corresponds to a softer sound.


How can the loudness of a sound be determined by the waves?

The loudness of a sound is determined by the amplitude of the sound waves. Greater amplitude corresponds to a higher loudness. The intensity of the sound wave is directly related to the amplitude of the wave, so louder sounds have higher amplitudes.


Which wave property determines a)loudness b)pitch?

a) Loudness is determined by the amplitude of a wave, which corresponds to the intensity or volume of sound. b) Pitch is determined by the frequency of a wave, which corresponds to how high or low a sound is perceived.


What features of light corresponds to loudness in sound?

The intensity or amplitude of light corresponds to loudness in sound. Just like how a louder sound is produced by greater amplitude of sound waves, a brighter light is produced by a greater intensity of light waves.


What is the property of a wave that determines volume or loudness?

The property of a wave that determines volume or loudness is the amplitude. A larger amplitude corresponds to a louder sound and a higher volume, while a smaller amplitude corresponds to a softer sound and a lower volume.


What does the amplitude of a wave tell about a sound?

The amplitude of a wave determines the loudness of a sound. A larger amplitude indicates a louder sound, while a smaller amplitude corresponds to a quieter sound.


Which component of the sound wave determines the loudness or softness of a tone?

The amplitude of a sound wave determines the loudness or softness of a tone. A higher amplitude corresponds to a louder sound, while a lower amplitude results in a softer sound.


What does the amplitude of a sound wave indicate?

The amplitude of a sound wave indicates the intensity or loudness of the sound. A larger amplitude corresponds to a louder sound, while a smaller amplitude corresponds to a softer sound.


What characteristic of a sound wave causes the loudness?

The amplitude of a sound wave determines its loudness. A greater amplitude results in a louder sound, while a lower amplitude produces a quieter sound.


What does amplitude of a sound wave affect?

The amplitude of a sound wave affects the loudness or volume of the sound. A higher amplitude corresponds to a louder sound, while a lower amplitude corresponds to a quieter sound.


How is the amptitude of a sound represented?

The amplitude of a sound wave is represented by the height of the wave. A greater amplitude corresponds to a louder sound, while a smaller amplitude corresponds to a softer sound. The amplitude reflects the strength or intensity of the sound wave.


What is associated with the sound's loudness?

The loudness of a sound is associated with the amplitude of the sound wave. A higher amplitude corresponds to a louder sound. The unit used to measure sound amplitude is decibels (dB).
