Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
the amount of energy in a light or sound wave, which we perceive as brightness or loudness, as determined by the wave’s amplitude
A
wavelength
B
hue
C
intensity
D
pupil
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Intensity is determined by the wave’s amplitude (height). the amount of energy in a light wave or sound wave, which influences what we perceive as brightness or loudness. Intensity is determined by the wave’s amplitude (height).

Detailed explanation-2: -Intensity-the amount of energy in a light or sound wave, which we perceive as brightness or loudness, as determined by the wave’s amplitude.

Detailed explanation-3: -The amplitude of light waves is associated with our experience of brightness or intensity of color, with larger amplitudes appearing brighter. Animals that are able to see visible light have different ranges of color perception.

Detailed explanation-4: -The closer the particles get or the further apart they get, the greater the sound’s amplitude. Sound amplitude causes a sound’s loudness and intensity. The bigger the amplitude is, the louder and more intense the sound. Sound intensity is measured in Watts per meters squared.

Detailed explanation-5: -Wavelength determines the perceived color of light (and also the pitch of sound). (b) Waves also vary in amplitude, the height from peak to trough (top to bottom). Wave amplitude determines the perceived brightness of colors (and also the intensity of sounds).
