Examples of amplitude in the following topics:
-
- Sound waves, characterized by frequency and amplitude, are perceived uniquely by different organisms.
- Amplitude, or the dimension of a wave from peak to trough, in sound is heard as volume .
- The sound waves of louder sounds have greater amplitude than those of softer sounds.
- The amplitude of the wave corresponds to volume.
- Describe the relationship of amplitude and frequency of a sound wave to attributes of sound
-
- Light is composed of photons that make up electromagnetic waves, which are characterized by wavelength, frequency, and amplitude.
- Wave amplitude is perceived as luminous intensity or brightness.
-
- First, it must deliver the acoustic stimulus to the receptors; second, it must convert the stimulus from pressure changes into electrical signals; and third, it must process these electrical signals so that they can efficiently indicate the qualities of the sound source, such as frequency (pitch), amplitude (loudness, volume), and location.
