Option c)
Amplitude
Loudness of sound depends on its Amplitude.
• Sound is a form of energy that produces a sensation of hearing in our ears.
• A sound is produced when an object moves or vibrates.
• A vibration is rapid to and fro or back and forth motion of an object about a mean position, it is known as the oscillatory motion.
• Every Oscillatory motion is characterised by -
- Amplitude
- Time Period
- Frequency
• Amplitude of vibration is the maximum displacement of the vibrating object on either side of its mean position.
• Time period of a vibration is defined as the time taken by the vibrating object for one complete vibration.
• The frequency of a vibration is defined as the total number of complete vibrations by the vibrating object in one second.
• The loudness of a sound is determined by the amplitude of the sound wave.
• Loudness helps us to differentiate between feeble and loud sound.
• The larger the amplitude louder will be the sound.
• Loudness is measured in unit called decibel (dB).
AMPLITUDE
The amplitude of the wave determines the loudness of a sound wave. A larger amplitude means a loud sound while a smaller amplitude means a soft sound. If the amplitude is high then the sound will be louder and the sound will be feeble if the amplitude is low.
