Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(a) Loudness is determined by the amplitude of the sound wave which in turn depends on the force with which the object is made to vibrate.
(b) Pitch of a sound is determined by its frequency. (Apart from this, the pitch of a sound also depends upon the relative motion between the source of sound and the listener).
