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…

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 35R

The correct option is (C).

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The quality of a sound is determined by its loudness or volume. The loudness of sound depends on the intensity of the sound waves.The loudness is an impression of how strong a sound wave is. It is a relative term and is a dimensionless quantity.

Sound quality describes those characteristics of sound which allow the ear to distinguish soundby its loudness.

Conclusion:

Hence, the correct answer is loudness.
