An increase in amplitude affects both sound and light waves differently.
For sound waves, an increase in amplitude results in a louder sound. Amplitude refers to the height or intensity of a wave, so when the amplitude increases, the sound wave becomes more intense and thus produces a louder sound.
As for light waves, amplitude does not directly affect brightness. Instead, the amplitude of a light wave determines its intensity, which is related to the brightness of the light. However, increasing the amplitude of a light wave does not necessarily result in a brighter light. The brightness of light depends on factors such as the number of photons present in the wave and the sensitivity of the observer's eyes.
Therefore, the correct response is "louder sound and brighter light".
