What does the amplitude of a sound wave represent?

Back

The amplitude of a sound wave corresponds to the volume of the sound.

Front

How does the brightness of a light bulb relate to its wattage?

Back

A higher wattage light bulb has a greater amplitude of light waves, making it brighter.

Front

What is the relationship between amplitude and frequency in light waves?

Back

Light waves can have different amplitudes but the same frequency.

Front

What is the definition of wavelength in sound waves?

Back

Wavelength is the distance between successive crests of a wave.
