The term for the magnitude of the maximum disturbance in a wave is amplitude, representing its peak displacement from equilibrium.

Objects vibrate at different frequencies based on their size, shape, and condition, leading to variations in the pitch of the sounds they produce.

More compressions and rarefactions passing per unit time result in a higher pitch.

The frequency of the sound wave, which is related to the rate of vibration of the sound source.

Higher frequency corresponds to higher pitch, and vice versa.
