Question

What is amplitude ...explain

Answer 1

Amplitude is an important parameter of waves and is the maximum displacement of points on a wave. Stated another way, amplitude is the vertical distance between a peak or a valley and the equilibrium point. Frequency is the number of wave cycles passing a point per unit time.

Answer 2

Amplitude is defined as the maximum displacement of an particle from its mean position. Loudness of a sound depends on the amplitude. The higher the amplitude, the higher the loudness and vice versa.
