How is the density at a compression in a compressional wave like the height of a transverse wave?
The amount of compression of a compression wave is like the amplitude of a transverse wave.
Is the amplitude of a wave is the distance between a point on one wave and the identical point on the next wave?
No, the distance between a point on one wave and the identical point on the next wave is the wavelength, not the amplitude. Amplitude is the height of the wave.
Why does the amplitude depend on the height of a wave?
This is just the definition of "amplitude". The amplitude of a wave is the height of the wave. "Amplitude" is a fancier name for "height" when we speak about waves.
What does amplitude have to do with sound?
amplitude is the height of the sound wave.
Why does a wave with a large amplitude carry more energy than one with small amplitude?
It is the same as why an object at higher place had more energy than one on the floor. Energy is the difference of potential, for kinetic energy example it is the height, greater height is greater energy. For the wave, energy could be stored in amplitude and frequency. Low amplitude or no amplitude is no energy and any amplitude higher than the zero amplitude would have more energy.

What is the relationship between the amplitude and the height of the wave?
amplitude is equal to one half of the wave height the greater the energy of the wave the greater its amplitude

Properties of Waves?
The main characteristics of waves are: 1. Amplitude or height of the wave. 2. Wavelength, or the distance between crests. 3. Period or the length of time for a wave to pass a point. 4. Frequency or the number of complete waves passing a point. 5. Speed or the horizontal speed of the wave as it grows.

The height of a wave above the median line?
The distance between the line of origin and the crest/trough of a wave is called the amplitude of the wave.
What is the height of a wave measured by the distance between the center of the wave and the crest or trough?
It is the amplitude
What happens to the distance between the crests when the amplitude is increased?
Nothing happens. Distance between crests is a measure of frequency; amplitude is a measure of the strength, the height of the wave, or auditory volume of the signal.
What is the difference between a rabbit and a dog in height?
what is the difference between a rabbit and dog in height
What is the height of a wavelength?
That is the amplitude.
