wave length

[danielruiz1G]

I'm confused on how exactly amplitude plays a role in oscillations and wavelength. can some explain this to me?

[Lenaschelzig1C]

amplitude shows how tall the wave is. By doing this, it determines how intense the light is.

[Chem_Mod]

Amplitude is related to the intensity of the wave.

Think of the ocean wave. Tall waves (high amplitude) are more powerful then small waves (low amplitude), assuming the same wavelength.

[sylvie_1D]

The square of the Amplitude tells the intensity, or brightness, of the radiation.

[Alexandra Wade 1L]

Amplitude is also related to the electrical field. Therefore as the extent of the change in the electrical field decreases the amplitude decreases.

[Elizabeth Parker 1K]

Frequency is how many waves pass by in a second while wavelength is the distance between two crests. Amplitude is related to how much energy a wave has. High energy waves have high amplitude and low energy waves have low amplitude.
