Question

Rahul is playing the drums. An increase in which of the following properties of the sound produced would result in an increase in loudness?

• A. Amplitude
• B. Speed
• C. Pitch
• D. Quality

Answer 1

The correct option is A Amplitude

The intensity or loudness of sound depends on the extent to which the sounding body vibrates, i.e. the amplitude of vibration. A sound is louder when the amplitude of vibration is greater. Loudness is measured in a unit called decibels $\left(dB\right)$.
