Here's the breakdown:
* Amplitude: The maximum displacement of a point on a wave from its equilibrium position. It's basically the "height" of the wave.
* Wavelength: The distance between two identical points on consecutive waves, like the distance between two crests or two troughs.
Imagine a wave on the surface of water:
* Amplitude: How high the crest of the wave rises above the water's surface.
* Wavelength: The distance between two successive crests (or troughs) of the wave.
