A band director instructs students to play a pitch louder. How will the sound wave change when the band plays the same pitch louder?

Playing the same pitch means the frequency stays the same. Making a sound louder increases the wave’s amplitude, which corresponds to greater sound intensity. The speed and wavelength do not increase just because the sound is louder, so the correct choice is “The amplitude of the sound wave will increase.”
