The amplitude of a longitudinal wave depends on:
1. **how far apart the medium is pulled in the rarefactions.**
2. **how tightly the medium is pushed together at the compressions.**
These factors are directly related to the amplitude of a longitudinal wave, which reflects the maximum displacement of particles in the medium from their rest position during compression and rarefaction. The other options regarding crests and troughs pertain to transverse waves, not longitudinal waves.
