Here's why:
* Amplitude: The amplitude of a wave is the maximum displacement of a point on the wave from its equilibrium position. It's the distance from the crest (highest point) or trough (lowest point) to the middle line of the wave.
* Wavelength: The distance from the trough of one wave to the trough of the next (or from crest to crest) is called the wavelength. It represents the length of a single cycle of the wave.
Think of it like this:
* Amplitude: How high the wave is (from middle to top or bottom).
* Wavelength: How long the wave is (from peak to peak or valley to valley).
