What is wavelength?

Back

The distance between two consecutive crests or troughs in a wave.

Front

What does amplitude measure in a wave?

Back

The maximum displacement of points on a wave from its rest position.

Front

How does amplitude affect sound?

Back

Higher amplitude means louder sound.
