Question
- Which of the following quality determines the loudness of a sound wave?
- wavelength
- frequency and
- amplitude
- How is loudness related to the quantity mentioned above in part (a)?

Solution
- Amplitude - The louder sound corresponds to the wave of large amplitude.
- Loudness is directly proportional to the square of amplitude [loudness ∝ (amplitude)2].
