Question
Two sounds of same loudness and same pitch produced by two different instruments differ in their ______.
Options
amplitudes
frequencies
waveforms
all of the above.
Solution
Two sounds of same loudness and same pitch produced by two different instruments differ in their waveforms.
Explanation:
The waveform of a sound depends on the number of the subsidiary notes and their relative amplitude along with the principal note. The sound waveform is the resultant vibration that all of these vibrations superimpose.
