The term amplitude ... Its most general definition is that the amplitude is the maximum positive displacement from the undisturbed position of the medium to the top of a crest. This is shown in the following diagram: ... Sometimes it is necessary to discuss an amplitude at a certain point along the wave.

Another thing scientists measure in waves is the wave's amplitude or height. What exactly do we mean by a wave's "amplitude". That is, how do you measure the height or amplitude of a wave? Look at these diagrams and see if you can figure out a good definition for amplitude.

Amplitude is the objective measurement of the degree of change (positive or negative) in atmospheric pressure (the compression and rarefaction of air molecules) caused by sound waves. Sounds with greater amplitude will produce greater changes in atmospheric pressure from high pressure to low pressure.
