–How much: Amplitude or distance between peaks and valleys.

The picture of
electromagnetic waves passing through the atmosphere is much like that of
the waves on the surface of the water.There are two important aspects about the waves:
1. What kind of
wave is it?:Wavelength or
distance between the peaks of the waves.
2. How big is
it?: Amplitude or distance between peaks and valley.When more radiation is emitted, the
amplitude increases.
