Detailed explanation-1: -In vision, the amplitude of a light wave relates to our perception of the brightness of a stimulus.
Detailed explanation-2: -In the visual system, a light wave’s wavelength is generally associated with color, and its amplitude is associated with brightness. In the auditory system, a sound’s frequency is associated with pitch, and its amplitude is associated with loudness.
Detailed explanation-3: -The color or hue of light depends on its wavelength, the distance between the peaks of its waves. The brightness of light is related to intensity or the amount of light an object emits or reflects. Brightness depends on light wave amplitude, the height of light waves.
Detailed explanation-4: -The loudness of a given sound is closely associated with the amplitude of the sound wave. Higher amplitudes are associated with louder sounds. Loudness is measured in terms of decibels (dB), a logarithmic unit of sound intensity.
