Question 1 Report

Fig. 1.1 shows how the displacement of an air particle varies with time as a sound wave passes a point. The height of the wave above the centre line is its amplitude. diagram The amplitude of this wave is a measure of the sound's:

Answer Details

The amplitude is the maximum displacement from the centre line, and a larger amplitude means the sound carries more energy and is heard as louder. So the amplitude is a measure of the sound's loudness. Pitch is set by frequency, while speed and wavelength are separate properties not shown by the height of the trace.
