The article states that amplitude plays a role in what happens to a sound

wave. Why do you think higher amplitude waves are more often
transmitted while lower amplitude waves are reflected or absorbed?

Answer:

Sound waves travel through matter

Step-by-step explanation:

Higher amplitude sound waves are more likely to be transmitted through matter instead of reflected. Lower amplitude sound waves are more likely to be reflected or absorbed, resulting in a lack of an echo. Sound can travel through air, water, and solids
