The amplitude is the maximum amount it sways from the neutral position. If it oscillates about zero, then it would vary from a value of +A to -A, where A is the maximum Amplitude. The units of A will be determined by the type of wave.

The measure of a waves intensity?
The measure of the intensity of a wave is referred to as its amplitude.
When describing waves wavelength refers to the wave's?
The wavelength is the length (distance) between two adjacent crests (or troughs, or any other part of the wave which starts repeating).
What occurs when two or more waves overlap and combine?
They superpose. Energy of the waves are redistributed to form a resultant wave with amplitude given by the summation of individual wave's amplitude. If the two waves are of same frequency, speed and amplitude and travelling in opposite direction den stationary waves are form.
What affects absolute brightness?
Brightness corresponds to amplitude of waves. Greater amplitude means greater brightness (so lower amplitude means less brightness).
Is amplitude same as period?
No. If compared to ocean waves, amplitude would be wave height, and period would be how long to next wave.
What type of waves have amplitude?
All waves have amplitude.
What does fm and am stand for?
AM-Amplitude modulated FM-Frequency modulated Explanation: The frequency and amplitude refer to the width and height of wavelengths in the radio waves that are used to transmit the signal. FM is usually a better signal than AM because the frequency of the waves is less distorted than amplitude.
If a band is playing loudly will the amplitude of the sound waves be small or large?
The amplitude of the sound waves will be largerbecause the larger the amplitude the louderthe sound.
What are micro-waves average amplitude?
microwaves average amplitude
What is it called when the crest of two waves overlap and result in an increased wave amplitude?
Superimposing of waves is when two or more waves travel through the same medium and intersect. The net displacement is the addition of the waves amplitude. If they are in phase they increase amplitude; out of phase, the amplitude decreases.
What is the property of waves responsible for loudness?
what is the property of waves responsible for loudess
Do P-waves have a higher amplitude than S-waves?
S-waves actually have a higher amplitude, despite being slower than P-waves. It is this amplitude that indicates stress, which is why S-waves can't travel through liquids, as liquids cannot support the stresses of S-waves
What is the amplitude of ultraviolet waves?
Ultraviolet waves can have different amplitudes, from very small to very large. There is no specific amplitude that they always have.
When you are comparing the energy of different waves you measure what of the waves?
Amplitude.
What property of sound waves is related to the amplitude of the waves?
Loudness.
A sound waves amplitude corresponds to the sounds what?
Usually, people are asking as if there is just "the" amplitude in sound waves in air. The loudness perception of a sound is determined by the amplitude of the sound waves − the higher the amplitude, the louder the sound. Which amplitude of sound (sound amplitude) do you mean? There are: amplitude of particle displacement ξ, or displacement amplitude amplitude of sound pressure p or pressure amplitude amplitude of sound particle velocity v, or particle velocity amplitude amplitude of pressure gradient Δ p, or pressure gradient amplitude. Furthermore, think of the amplitude of the oscillation of a string. The maximum magnitude of the deflection of a wave is called amplitude. Look at link: "What is an amplitude?"
What does the amplitude of a wave depend on?
In the case of sound, amplitude is related to volume or loudness.- loud sounds generate waves of larger amplitude and your ear would register sound waves of large amplitude as louder.
