Correct Answer: square


Solution : The correct answer is square .

The loudness of sound is proportional to the square of the amplitude of the vibration producing the sound. In other words, the perception of loudness corresponds to the intensity of the sound wave, which is directly related to the square of its amplitude. As the amplitude increases, the energy carried by the sound wave grows exponentially, resulting in a perceived increase in loudness.
