Question
State what happens to the amplitude and the wavelength of the wave if1. the loudness of the sound is increased at constant pitch,amplitude ...................................................................................................................wavelength ................................................................................................................
Solution
When the loudness of a sound is increased at a constant pitch, the amplitude of the wave increases. This means that the height or intensity of the wave increases, resulting in a louder sound. However, the wavelength of the wave remains unchanged. The wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points of the wave, such as two peaks or two troughs. So, increasing the loudness of a sound does not affect the distance between these points.
