Sound energy travels in waves and is measured in frequency and amplitude. Amplitude measures how forceful the wave is . It is measured on a Logarithmic scale and reported[1] in decibels or dBA of sound pressure. 0 dBA is the softest level that a person can hear.
Read moreIs amplitude A measure of energy?
It turns out that the amplitude tells you how much energy is in the wave . A high amplitude wave is a high-energy wave, and a low-amplitude wave is a low-energy wave.
Read moreHow do I find the amplitude of a 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.

Here are some examples of amplitude: The amplitude of a water wave would be the distance between the top of a wave and the surface of the water at rest . The amplitude of a sound wave would be the density of air particles at the center of a compression or pulse of sound.15 Ağu 2021
