    The   given   table   lists   some characteristics       of four sounds I, II, III, and IV.
    Sound Amplitude (cm) Frequency (Hz)
    I 1 1
    II 3 4
    III 2 3
    IV 2 4
    Which two sounds have the same loudness?

    A)  I and II                                

    B)  I and III

    C)  II and IV                             

    D)  III and IV

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

      Loudness of a sound is given by its amplitude, i.e., by the maximum height of the peak of the sound wave. As amplitude increases, loudness also increases and vice-versa. It is clear from the given table that sounds III and IV have the same amplitude. Hence, their loudness is also the same. The correct answer is D.
