  • Amplitude vs. Frequency: What Determines Sound Loudness?
    Amplitude is the property of a wave that determines its loudness.

    * Amplitude refers to the maximum displacement of a wave from its equilibrium position. A larger amplitude means a greater displacement, resulting in a louder sound.

    * Frequency determines the pitch of a sound. A higher frequency corresponds to a higher pitch, but not necessarily a louder sound.

    In summary:

    * Higher amplitude = Louder sound

    * Higher frequency = Higher pitch
