If the human ear could not detect differences in the amplitude of sound waves,people would not be able to detect differences in the
A) pitch of sounds.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Loudness is directly related to the amplitude of sound waves. Without the ability to detect differences in amplitude, we would not be able to perceive differences in loudness. Pitch and timbre are related to the frequency and complexity of sound waves, respectively, and saturation is not a relevant aspect of sound perception.
