Which is the correct definition of amplitude?

• 
• 
• 
• 

Arrange the following waves from smallest to greatest amplitude.

• 
• 
• 
• 

Which is a correct observation on the effect of the amplitude to the wave properties?

• When the amplitude increases, the frequency also increases.

• When the amplitude increases, the wavelength also increases.

• When the amplitude increases, the wave speed also increases.

• The amplitude has no effect to either the frequency, wavelength, or wave speed.

Period is ​ (a)   to the frequency.

• inversely proportional
• directly proportional
• proportional
• not related
