Which of the following is true of the loudness of sound?
Explanation
Loudness depends on the intensity of the sound, and intensity is proportional to the square of the amplitude of the vibrating body. A bigger vibration makes a louder sound.
Sound cannot travel in a vacuum, and loudness gets smaller, not larger, as you move away from the source.
