Reese Pena · Answer 1

The amplitude of a wave does not affect the speed at which the wave travels. The speed of a wave is only altered by alterations in the properties of the medium through which it travels.

Here's some fun facts:

The amplitude of a sound wave determines its loudness or volume. A larger amplitude means a louder sound, and a smaller amplitude means a softer sound.
