Doubling the amplitude of a sound wave will?

A) Double the speed of the sound and cause it to have a higher pitch

B) Havel the speed of sound and cause it to have a lower pitch

C) Leave the speed of sound unchanged, but cause the sound to be louder

D) Leave the speed of sound unchanged and cause the sound to have a lower pitch

(C) is correct option.

Explanation:

The loudness of sound wave determines its amplitude. If the sound is loud, it will have more amplitude while if the sound is soft, it will have less amplitude.

On doubling the amplitude of sound wave, it will become more loud.

Doubling the amplitude of a sound wave will leave the speed of sound unchanged, but cause the sound to be louder. Hence, the correct option is (C).
