A louder sound, with a bigger amplitude, will make them move further, for example. Frequently is how quickly the oscillation happens. A bigger frequency will make the compressions get closer together (more frequent), making the rarefactions smaller.

A source of sound produces 500 compressions and 500 rarefactions in air in 30 s. Find the (a) frequency, and (b) wavelength of sound produced. (Consider speed of sound = 330 m s⁻¹)
