loudness is sound intensity & intensity depends on square of amplitude. for example higher the amplitude higher the intensity which means higher the loudness.
The statement above is true. The phase of matter which is exposed to normal atmospheric pressure is indeed solely dependent upon temperature. If the matter is exposed to the normal atm pressure, its temperature depends on it.
Explanation: The electric field lines also represent the intensity of the field, in this sense for strong electric fields it is usually draw the lines close to each other. In constrast when they are far apart the electric field is weak.
