Understanding Wavelength and Amplitude in Waves

This video tutorial explains the features of waves, focusing on wavelength and amplitude. It begins with an introduction to transverse waves, highlighting the peaks and troughs. The concept of amplitude is discussed, emphasizing its role in indicating the energy carried by a wave. The tutorial then explores the wavelength of transverse waves, explaining how it is measured from peak to peak. Finally, the video covers the wavelength in longitudinal waves, illustrating it through the distance between compressed particle sets.
