Question

The perpendicular distance from the highest point of the compression or the lowest point of the rarefaction to the mean position is called AMPLITUDE.

IS THIS DEFINATION OF Amplitude, Correct ? If not than what is the Correct defination ?

Answer 1

No,this⏬is correct.

the magnitude of the maximum disturbance in the medium on either side of the mean value is called the amplitude of the wave.It is usually represented by the letter A.Its unit is metre.

Answer 2

Answer:

This definition is wrong.

Explanation:

Amplitude, in physics, the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position. It is equal to one-half the length of the vibration path. The amplitude of a pendulum is thus one-half the distance that the bob traverses in moving from one side to the other. Waves are generated by vibrating sources, their amplitude being proportional to the amplitude of the source.
