What is Amplitude of Sound? The amplitude of a sound wave is the measure of the height of the wave. The amplitude of a sound wave can be defined as the loudness or the amount of maximum displacement of vibrating particles of the medium from their mean position when the sound is produced.

What is amplitude and frequency of sound?
[BL] For sound, a higher frequency corresponds to a higher pitch while a lower frequency corresponds to a lower pitch. Amplitude corresponds to the loudness of the sound. [BL][OL] Since sound at all frequencies has the same speed in air, a change in frequency means a change in wavelength.
How do you find the amplitude of a sound wave?
Amplitude is generally calculated by looking on a graph of a wave and measuring the height of the wave from the resting position. The amplitude is a measure of the strength or intensity of the wave. For example, when looking at a sound wave, the amplitude will measure the loudness of the sound.
How does amplitude affect sound?
The larger the amplitude of the waves, the louder the sound. Pitch (frequency) – shown by the spacing of the waves displayed. The closer together the waves are, the higher the pitch of the sound. ... So sounds 2 and 3 are the same volume (amplitude), but 3 has higher pitch (frequency).
