... proportional to the amplitude and frequency of the waves the larger the wave amplitude, the more force it has the more frequently the waves strike, the more total force there isTro, Chemistry: ... of the wave the distance from node to crest or node to trough the amplitude is a measure of how intense the light is – the larger the amplitude, the brighter the light• the wavelength, ... Approach 11 The Relationship Between Wavelength and Frequency•for waves traveling at the same speed, the shorter the wavelength, the more frequently they pass•this means that the wavelength...
