Answer» (1) The factors affecting the loudness of sound are 1. the amplitude of the vibrations of the body 2. the distance of the listener from the vibrating body 3. the surface area of the vibrating body 4. the density of the medium 5. the presence of the resonating bodies 6. the sensitivity of the ear of the listener. (2) Intensity and loudness are related, but not the same. Intensity is a measurable quantity whereas loudness is a sensation which is not measurable. Loudness depends on the intensity of sound as well as the sensitivity of the ear of the listener. |
