Question 7
The loudness of sound is determined by the

(a) Amplitude of vibration
(b) Ratio of amplitude and frequency of vibration
(c) Frequency of vibration
(d) Product of amplitude and frequency of vibration

Open in App

Solution

The answer is (a).
Loudness depends on the amplitude of the vibraiton. Frequecy determines the pitch of the sound and not the loudness.

Q. Assertion :Resonance is a special case of forced vibration in which the natural frequency of vibration of the body is the same as the impressed frequency of external periodic force and the amplitude of forced vibration is maximum. Reason: The amplitude of forced vibrations of a body increases with an increase in the frequency of the externally impressed periodic force.
