Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The sound moves in the form of waves. The amplitude is the distance between the highest and the lowest point of a wave. In this way the amplitude indicates the amount of energy that a sound signal contains.

Intensity is the amount of acoustic energy that a sound contains. Intensity is measured in decibels. Volume is a measure of the energy that a signal carries, being a magnitude of intensity.

In this way it is possible to say that the energy of a signal is closely related to its amplitude, but its development over time is also important.

The tone or height is the quality that distinguishes between a high or low sound and a low or high sound.
