| Question - How do you measure wavelength? | Answer - From one crest (top) to the next crest, or if it's a compression wave (the one with different size loops) through one complete cycle of a wave. |
| Question - How do you measure amplitude? | Answer - From one crest (top) to the resting position (middle). |
