Front

What is the definition of amplitude in wave properties?

Back

Amplitude is the maximum extent of a wave's oscillation, measured from its rest position.

Front

What is the definition of wavelength?

Back

Wavelength is the distance between successive crests of a wave.

Front

Which wave property is responsible for the energy of the wave?

Back

Amplitude; higher amplitude means more energy.
