प्रश्न
If the amplitude of a wave is doubled, what will be the effect on its loudness?

उत्तर
The loudness of sound is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude of waves.
Loudness ∝ (amplitude)2 When the amplitude is doubled loudness becomes (2)2 = 4 times

A person is standing at the seashore. An observer on the ship which is anchored in between a vertical cliff and the person on the shore fires a gun. The person on the shore hears two sounds, 2 seconds and 3 seconds after seeing the smoke of the fired gun. If the speed of sound in the air is 320 ms-1 then calculate:
