Question

Does amplitude affect wavelength?

Answer 1

No, the amplitude does not affect the wavelength.

1. The amplitude of a wave indicates how bright or intense the light is compared to other light waves of the same wavelength.
2. Amplitude is the displacement of a particle measured from the rest position to the top of the crest during oscillations.
3. The wavelength of light is the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs and it depends upon the wave speed.
4. Amplitude does not vary with the wave speed, thus, it does not affect wavelength.

Therefore, the amplitude does not affect the wavelength.
