the amplitude of a wave is the wave's height from zero to the crest. the wavelength is the distance between the crests. the frequency is the number of wave cycles to pass a given point per unit of time. the SI unit of cycles per second is called hertz (Hz). the wavelength snf frequency of light are inversely proportionate to each other. the product of the frequency and wavength is always a constant (c), the speed of light.
