What determines the loudness of a sound? What is the unit of loudness? [2 MARKS]
Each point: 1 Mark 1. Loudness is determined by the amplitude of vibration. 2. Unit of loudness is decibel.
How is Loudness related to amplitude of sound and in what units it is measured? [3 MARKS]
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. [3 MARKS]
