Assuming we are talking about sound, intensity measures the power in a sound wave. Mathematically, it is the product of the sound pressure and the particle velocity, and is measured in watts per square meter.
Loudness usually refers to the (subjective) perception of sound intensity by people. It is related to intensity, but also depends upon frequency. The human ear perceives increases in sound intensity roughly on a logarithmic scale, so for example the sound intensity needs to increase by about a factor of ten to create the perception that the sound is twice as loud. This is the motivation for the decibel system, which measures sound intensity on a logarithmic scale.

What is Distinguish between intensity and loudness?
the Decibel it measures the loudness and intensity
Is the loudness of a sound is called its intensity?
Yes the loudness of a sound is called its intensity.
The loudness of a sound wave is determined by its?
By its amplitude. Really loudness is sound intensity & intensity depends on square of amplitude ie. higher the amplitude higher the intensity which means higher the loudness.
The loudness or strength of a sound is its?
intensity. :)
The loudness of a sound is a reflection of?
intensity
How is intensity related with loudness of a sound?
My sources tell me that it is in fact legal.

By its amplitude. Really loudness is sound intensity & intensity depends on square of amplitude ie. higher the amplitude higher the intensity which means higher the loudness.
What is the relaationship between loudness and sound intensity?
Loudness is the colloquial term and intensity is the scientific term. More the intensity higher the loudness. Same way in case of light, higher the intensity of radiation, we call colloquially that as more brightness.
How is the loudness of a sound related to the amplitude?
Loudness is really a subjective measure and is often confused with objective measures in decibel units of sound pressure or sound intensity.
How does sound intensity differ from loudness?
Sound intensity or acoustic intensity can be calculated from the objective measurement of the sound pressure. The loudness is a psycho-acoustic subjective feeling, which is difficult to measure.
What wave property controls the loudness of sound?
This is closely related to the intensity, i.e., power per unit area.
WHAT IS The loudness of sound called?
Intensity
What is the loudness or the softness of sound?
intensity :)
The loudness of a sound is a reflection of?
intensity
The loudness or strength of a sound is its?
intensity. :)
