  • Sound Intensity & Amplitude: Understanding Loudness
    The wave property related to how soft or loud a sound is amplitude.

    Here's why:

    * Amplitude refers to the maximum displacement of a wave from its resting position.

    * A larger amplitude means a greater displacement, resulting in a stronger vibration.

    * This stronger vibration translates to a louder sound.

    Think of it like this: If you gently tap a drum, the drumhead vibrates slightly, producing a soft sound. But if you hit the drum hard, the drumhead vibrates much more, producing a loud sound.
