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.
