alleryHow is sound INTENSITY related to the SQUARE of the AMPLITUDE?
AIndependent
BDoubling amplitude doubles intensity
CInversely
DDoubling amplitude makes intensity 4×
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Doubling amplitude makes intensity 4×
Intensity ∝ amplitude².
If amplitude doubles, intensity becomes 4× (since 2² = 4).
This is why doubling amplitude requires 4× the energy.
