What is amplitude?

• How fast the wave goes

• The distance between a point on one wave and the same point on the next wave. It is usually measured in metres (m).

• The number of waves produced by a source each second. It is measured in Hertz (Hz).

• “how high” the wave is. It is the maximum distance the air particles travel from undisturbed position.

What is the definition of wavelength?

• the distance between a point on one wave and the same point on the next wave. It is usually measured in metres (m).

• How fast the wave goes

• The number of waves created by the source per second.

• “how high” the wave is. It is the maximum distance the air particles travel from undisturbed position.
