A large wave would have more energy than a small wave. The energy of a wave is determined by its amplitude, so a wave with a greater height (larger amplitude) will have more energy.
If the wave has crowded compressions and loose rarefactions, it indicates a large amplitude. Amplitude is the maximum displacement of particles from their equilibrium position, so a wave with crowded compressions (high-pressure areas) and loose rarefactions (low-pressure areas) suggests a significant difference between the maximum and minimum values of the wave.
Yes, when the particles of a medium move a great distance as the wave passes, the wave typically has a large amplitude. Amplitude is a measure of how far the particles of the medium move from their rest position as the wave passes through.
A longitudinal wave with a large amplitude will have higher peaks and lower troughs compared to a wave with a smaller amplitude. It will look taller in its oscillations and have more pronounced compressions and rarefactions.
The number of vibrations a wave makes in a certain amount of time is referred to as its frequency. It is measured in hertz (Hz) and represents how many complete cycles of a wave occur in one second.
compression wave is a wave like a sound wave

A tidal wave? A Tsunami?
A tsunami is a large wave.
Refraction
A longitudinal wave has a large amplitude if the particles in the medium are displaced by a significant distance from their equilibrium position. This displacement represents the maximum strength or intensity of the wave. The larger the amplitude, the more energy the wave carries.
If the wave has crowded compressions and loose rarefactions, it indicates a large amplitude. Amplitude is the maximum displacement of particles from their equilibrium position, so a wave with crowded compressions (high-pressure areas) and loose rarefactions (low-pressure areas) suggests a significant difference between the maximum and minimum values of the wave.
Bigger the amplitude, bigger the wave.
A wave that forms a large curl is typically known as a barrel or a tube. This type of wave is often sought after by surfers for its thrilling and challenging ride, as they can ride inside the hollow part of the wave as it breaks.
A large tectonic ocean wave is a "tsunami" (Japanese for harbor wave).
