* Larger Displacement: As amplitude increases, the particles oscillate over a greater distance from their rest position. Think of it like a spring: a higher amplitude wave is like stretching the spring further back and forth.
* Higher Energy: The energy carried by the wave is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude. So, a higher amplitude wave carries more energy.
* No Change in Wavelength: The distance between two consecutive compressions or rarefactions (the wavelength) remains the same even if the amplitude changes.
Visualizing it: Imagine a slinky. If you give it a small push (low amplitude), the coils move back and forth a small distance. If you push harder (higher amplitude), the coils move further back and forth, but the distance between the coils (the wavelength) stays the same.
