Waves
Amplitude (energy and loudness) vs. frequency (pitch and color). Pick a wave, move the sliders, and drag the purple probe along it.
Wave speed: v = f Γ Ξ»
π What Kids Hear in Real Life
Higher Amplitude makes the sound LOUDER. Higher Frequency squeezes waves closer together, making the pitch HIGHER (like a whistle vs. thunder).
