3. The amount of energy in a sound wave is called. | A. Frequency | | B. Amplitude | | C. Intensity | | D. Velocity | Correct Answer B. Amplitude Explanation The amount of energy in a sound wave is called amplitude. Amplitude refers to the maximum displacement or distance from the equilibrium position of a particle in a sound wave. It represents the intensity or loudness of the sound wave. Higher amplitudes indicate louder sounds with more energy, while lower amplitudes indicate softer sounds with less energy. Frequency, on the other hand, refers to the number of complete cycles or vibrations of a sound wave per unit of time. Intensity is a measure of the power or energy per unit area of the sound wave, and velocity refers to the speed at which the sound wave travels.

It refers to the perceived frequency of a sound wave, where a higher pitch corresponds to a higher frequency and a lower pitch corresponds to a lower frequency. Pitch can be determined by the rate at which sound waves vibrate, with faster vibrations resulting in higher pitches and slower vibrations resulting in lower pitches. The term "pitch" can be written in lowercase as “pitch” or in uppercase as "Pitch". 2
