Important Questions from Sound

1multiple choice
3 marks

A sound wave has amplitude 4 cm. If its amplitude is doubled, by what factor does its loudness change?

Show answer

4 times

Loudness is proportional to the square of amplitude. Doubling amplitude makes loudness 2^2 = 4 times.

2multiple choice

A sound wave has amplitude 2 cm. If its amplitude is tripled, by what factor does its loudness change?

Show answer

9 times

Loudness ∝ a^2. Tripling amplitude makes loudness 3^2 = 9 times.

3multiple choice

A tuning fork vibrates at 256 s^-1. What is its frequency in hertz?

Show answer

256 Hz

The frequency produced by the tuning fork is marked on it. 256 s^-1 means 256 Hz.
