Waves: Amplitude

The video tutorial explains how to graph waves using X and Y axes, illustrating the sound patterns of crickets and frogs. It introduces the concept of amplitude, which measures the energy carried by a wave, and compares the amplitudes of sounds made by crickets and frogs, highlighting that louder sounds have higher amplitudes.

What do the horizontal and vertical lines on a graph represent?

Describe the wave pattern that illustrates the sound of crickets.

What is amplitude and how is it measured?

Explain the relationship between amplitude and the energy carried by a wave.

How does the sound made by little frogs called peepers differ from that of crickets?
