Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Amplitude is a measure of the intensity or loudness of a sound, measured in decibels. Therefore, if the conductor is asking for a louder sound, they are asking the timpani player to increase the amplitude, which would be measured in decibels. Geons, hertz, and convergence are not relevant to measuring sound amplitude.
