Detailed Solution

Sound is a type of vibration that travels in waves through a medium. Due to the fact that sound travels in waves, it has properties such as frequency (or wavelength), amplitude, intensity, speed, and direction. So, in this section, we'll talk about sound and how it can help us figure out the answer to the question.

The amplitude of the wave is the magnitude of the maximum disturbance in the medium on either side of the mean value.

The amplitude of a sound is what determines its loudness or softness.

The force used to make an object vibrate determines the amplitude of the sound wave.

We hear a soft sound when we lightly strike a table because we produce a sound wave with less energy (amplitude), but we hear a loud sound when we strike the table hard.

As a result, because loud sounds are associated with higher energy, they can travel a greater distance. As a result, option 2 is correct.

From its source, a sound wave spreads outward. Its amplitude and loudness decrease as it moves away from the source.
