How do you measure the amplitude of a longitudinal wave?

3 0

You do it by the pressure difference it causes in the medium. Even in transversal waves, you usually need different units than meters because the wave has electric and magnetic vectors and not really any height to speak of.

you measure the amount of excursion from the equilibrium (no wave) level of whatever parameter is fluctuating.

SashulF [63]

The piano strings for low notes are heavier, have more inertia, and vibrate at a lower frequency a lower pitch than lighter strings of the same string tension. Loudness involves how hard the keys are struck, which affects the amplitudes of the vibrating strings. the touch sensitivity of the piano distinguishes it from earlier.
