Solution

The correct option is A True
The maximum displacement of a vibrating object from its mean position in a medium is called the amplitude of a wave.
It is denoted by “A”. The SI unit of amplitude is meter (m).
For example, if a wave has a higher amplitude, a loud sound is produced. It means loudness depends on the amplitude.
Hence, the given statement is true.
