Which wave property determines (a) loudness, (b) pitch?

(a) Amplitude (b) Frequency

(a) The loudness of a sound depends on its amplitude. If the amplitude of a sound is large, then the sound produced will also be loud.

(b) The pitch of a sound depends on its frequency. A sound will be considered a high pitched sound, if its frequency is high.
