Answer and Explanation
What is different between the two sound waves?
- amplitude

- both
- neither
The correct answer is A.
The amplitude is much greater for the brown wave than for the pink wave. However, the pink wave oscillates just as frequently as the brown wave. The pink and brown waves have the same period and frequency, but different amplitudes.
