Answers
Answer:
Summary
Loudness refers to how loud or soft a sound seems to a listener. ...
As decibel levels get higher, sound waves have greater intensity and sounds are louder. ...
Intensity of sound results from two factors: the amplitude of the sound waves and how far they have traveled from the source of the sound.
Explanation:
Loudness refers to how loud or soft a sound seems to a listener. The loudness of sound is determined, in turn, by the intensity, or amount of energy, in sound waves. The unit of intensity is the decibel (dB).
As decibel levels get higher, sound waves have greater intensity and sounds are louder. For every 10-decibel increase in the intensity of sound, loudness is 10 times greater.
Intensity of sound results from two factors: the amplitude of the sound waves and how far they have traveled from the source of the sound
