The loudness of a sound is 8 dB when the amplitude of vibrations is 2 units. If the amplitude is increased to 8 units, find the loudness of the sound in dB.

Solution
Loudness∝(Amplitude)2
Here amplitude is increased by 4 times. So, loudness should increase by 16 times.
Therefore, loudness =16×8=128dB
