Solution
Quality of a musical note: quality of a sound is that characteristic which distinguishes the two sounds of the same loudness and same pitch, but emitted by two different instruments. It depends on the waveform.
Two sounds of same amplitudes (i.e same loudness) and
same frequency but of different wave forms.
