Question

A decrease in amplitude makes a sound wave _______.

  1. Mute
  2. Loud
  3. Softer
  4. None 

hintHint:

Softer

The correct answer is: Softer


    • The loudness of a sound depends on its amplitude.
    • Amplified sounds are louder.
    • Therefore, a decrease in the amplitude of a sound wave make the sound softer.
    • So, the correct option is c.
