Decibel is the unit to measure the _______ of sound.
Loudnesss
Pitch
Frequency
Quality
Hence, the correct option is (A).
Decibel (dB) is a unit of loudness of sound. It is defined in a manner such that when the amplitude of the sound is multiplied by a factor of √10, the decibel level increases by 10 units. Loud music of 70dB is being played at a function. To reduce the loudness to a level of 30dB, the amplitude of the instrument playing music has to be reduced by a factor of:
