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.
How many value of amplitude are there in one wavelength of a wave and how is the amplitude related to the energy of a wave?
-- Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional. Their product is constant, and is the speed of the wave. They're entirely unrelated to amplitude or energy. -- A wave with greater amplitude carries more energy than one with smaller amplitude does. -- IF your wave happens to be an electromagnetic one, THEN the energy carried by each quantum is proportional to the frequency.
The distance from one compression to the next compression is the amplitude of a longitudinal wave?
The amplitude of a compressional wave, like a sound wave, is determined by the concentration of molecules in each compression. The higher the amplitude, or energy that a wave carries, the more compact the molecules are in a compression. The lower the amplitude, the more spread out those particles are. the amplitude of a compressional wave,like a sound wave,is determined by the contretration of waves in a compression
Describe the difference between a compressional wave with a large amplitude and one with a small amplitude?

Explain how amplitude and pitch affect changes in waves?
In case of mechanical waves, ie waves propagating through material medium the amplitude of the waves decides the intensity of the waves as intensity is directly proportional to the square of its amplitude. Pitch is related to the frequency of the wave. As pitch increases then in one second more number of waves would cross a particular point in the medium. If velocity of the wave in the medium remains constant, the wavelength gets reduced as the pitch increases.
What are the property of the wave?
the properties of sound wave are wave length,amplitude,frequency.
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

When the crest of one wave overlaps the crests of another wave what is it called?
When the crest of one wave overlaps the trough of another, this produces destructive interference. If both original waves are equal in amplitude, then nothing will remain. The waves completely cancel out. However, if one waver is larger in amplitude, then there will still be a wave left over after they meet, but it will be smaller. The amplitude of the new wave will be the larger wave amplitude minus the smaller wave amplitude one. The opposite can also occur. If the crests of two waves overlap, then it produces constructive interference (resulting in one larger wave).
How much of an increase in wave amplitude is seen from an earthquake measuring 5.4 on the ritcher compared to one measuring 4.4?
10 times
What happens when a wave amplitude interferes with another wave amplitude of the same frequency?
They could undergo constructive interference in which the amplitudes of the two waves combine. For example, a wave with an amplitude of 2 units overlaps with another wave with an amplitude of 2 units, the overlapping amplitude will be 4 units. They could also undergo destructive interference in which the amplitude of one wave is 2 units and the amplitude of the second wave is -2 units. At the point where they meet, the combined amplitude will be zero.

Why a sound wave with a large amplitude is more likely to damage your hearing that one with a small amplitude?
A sound wave with a larger amplitude also carries more power.
What does the energy of a mechanical wave depend on?
In fact, energy of the wave is one interpretation of a wave's amplitude. Many versions of amplitude exist. If amplitude has a specific meaning and a specific unit...it needs to be specified. Some examples are displacement amplitude, energy amplitude, pressure amplitude, restoring force amplitude, intensity, decibel level, etcetera.
