Sound waves with large amplitudes have less energy and sound quieter. Sound waves with large amplitudes have more energy and sound louder. Sound waves with large amplitudes have the same energy and sound quieter. Sound waves with large amplitudes have the same energy and sound louder.
I gave my students this multiple choice question: When sound waves with large amplitude are compared to sound waves with small amplitude, which of the following is true?

Only one answer is correct among these 4 choices:
- Sound waves with large amplitudes have less energy and sound quieter.
- Sound waves with large amplitudes have more energy and sound louder.
- Sound waves with large amplitudes have the same energy and sound quieter.
- Sound waves with large amplitudes have the same energy and sound louder.

Could you tell me which one is correct?

Sound waves with large amplitudes have more energy and sound louder.
