To Choose: The correct option.
Answer to Problem 7STP
The correct option is (B).
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Amplitude determines its loudness, or intensity. Larger amplitude means a louder sound, and a quieter sound means smaller amplitude.
The property of sound wave related to loudness is amplitude. Amplitude is the measure of the size of sound waves. Greater amplitude waves have more energy and intensity, hence louder sound.
Conclusion:
Hence, sound wave property which is most related to loudness is amplitude.
