Question
Nyla plays the trumpet very well. She can hit a middle C note perfectly every time. Suddenly, she hit a middle C, but it sounds much louder than before. Which statement explains the changes to the sound when the note was louder?
Responses
A She blew with more energy, increasing the amplitude of the wave.She blew with more energy, increasing the amplitude of the wave.
B She blew with more force, increasing the wavelength of the wave.She blew with more force, increasing the wavelength of the wave.
C She blew with more force, decreasing the frequency of the wave.She blew with more force, decreasing the frequency of the wave.
D She blew with less force, allowing the distance traveled by the sound waves to increase.

The correct response is:
A. She blew with more energy, increasing the amplitude of the wave.
When Nyla blows harder into the trumpet, she increases the amplitude of the sound wave produced. This results in a louder sound while maintaining the same pitch.
A. She blew with more energy, increasing the amplitude of the wave.
When Nyla blows harder into the trumpet, she increases the amplitude of the sound wave produced. This results in a louder sound while maintaining the same pitch.
