How is loudness related to amplitude?

Open in App

Solution

Loudness refers to the intensity of the sound. whether the sound is aloud or soft.
Amplitude is the maximum displacement of the sound wave for the vibrating object from its mean position.
Loudness is the intensity of the sound and it depends upon the square of amplitude.
The higher the amplitude, louder is the sound.
Lower the amplitude, softer is the sound.
Loudness is measured in decibel (db).
