What is the unit of measurement of the amplitude (or intensity) of a sound?
A) hertz
B) wavelengths
C) decibels
D) cycles per second
Decibels
The units of measurement for sound intensity, indicating the loudness of sounds on a logarithmic scale.
Amplitude
The maximum extent of a vibration or oscillation, measured from the position of equilibrium.
Hertz
In the International System of Units (SI), the measure of frequency that is equivalent to one cycle every second.
- Comprehend the principle of amplitude and how it correlates with sound pressure.
- Familiarize with the basic theories of auditory perception, particularly the relationships among frequency, pitch, amplitude, and loudness.
