Musical instruments can change the frequency of sound waves, which then changes the of the sounds.

• amplitude

• volume

• loudness

• pitch

Loudness depends on- (choose 2)

• frequency of the sound waves

• amount of energy in the sound waves

• distance from a vacuum

• distance from the source
