Question

What name is given to the maximum displacement of a vibrating body from its central position?

Answer 1

Answer:

Amplitude is the term given to the maximum displacement of a vibrating body from its mean position.

Answer 2

Amplitude

Explanation:

The maximum displacement of a vibrating body from its central position is called its amplitude. Amplitude is the magnitude of change in the oscillating variable with each oscillation within an oscillating system. For example, sound waves in air are oscillations in atmospheric pressure and their amplitudes are proportional to the change in pressure during one oscillation. The definition of amplitude refers to the length and width of waves, such as sound waves, as they move or vibrate.
