Hitting a table harder increases the force applied, resulting in a larger amplitude sound wave with greater energy, which is perceived as a louder sound.

The force applied to an object affects the amplitude of the sound wave it produces, with greater force typically resulting in larger amplitudes.

The primary aspect of sound determined by its amplitude is its loudness, with higher amplitudes corresponding to louder sounds.

In the context of sound waves, amplitude is typically measured in decibels (dB), representing the intensity or loudness of the sound.

Amplitude is typically represented by the peak value of a wave’s oscillation or displacement from its equilibrium position.
