Detailed Solution

   The above statement is False.
Loudness is the characteristic of sound to distinguish between two sounds. It is directly related to the amplitude of the wave. If the particle's distance from its mean position is maximum, it will produce a louder sound. This maximum displacement of the particle is called the amplitude of the wave. The square of the wave amplitude is directly proportional to the loudness. It is given by, loudness α (Amplitude)2
Hence the correct statement would be the square of the amplitude of a sound wave is inversely proportional to the loudness.
