Properties of sound
A sound wave is a mechanical wave (or mechanical vibration) that transit through media such as gas (air), liquid (water), and solid (wood).
Quality Of Sound
A sound or a sound wave is defined as the energy produced due to the vibrations of particles in a medium. When any medium produces a disturbance or vibrations, it causes a movement in the air particles which produces sound waves. Molecules in the air vib…
Categories of Sound Wave
People perceive sound in different ways, like a medico student takes sound as vibration produced by objects reaching the human eardrum. A physicist perceives sound as vibration produced by an object, which produces disturbances in nearby air molecules th…

To determine

The correct option to be chosen.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 34R

The correct option is (D).

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The amount of energy carried by sound is related with its amplitude.Amplitude is determined by the energy of the sound wave.

The sound is louder if its amplitude is high and softer if amplitude is low. A high amplitude carries high energy and low amplitude wave carries small amount of energy.

Conclusion:

Hence, the correct answer is amplitude.
