Solution

The intensity of a sound wave is defined as the amount of sound energy passing through a unit area per second.
Loudness is a measure of the response of the ear to the sound. The loudness of a sound is defined by its amplitude.
The amplitude of a sound decides its intensity, which in turn is perceived by the ear as loudness.
