The Amplitude of a sound is it's loudness. It is possible to convert a sound wave into a transverse wave and see it on a CRO. (Cathode Ray Oscilloscope) A quiet sound has a low aplitude and a loud sound therefore has a high amplitude.

What is the height of wave measured from center to peak?
ampitude
Define sonic boom?
An explosive sound caused by the shock wave preceding an aircraft traveling at or above the speed of sound.
Define the following terms loudness intensity pitch?
Loudness is the same thing as volume. It refers to the amplitude of a sound wave. Pitch is the quality of a sound where it sounds "high" or "low", as a "high-pitched squeal" or a "low-pitched rumble". It refers to the frequency of the sound wave. Intensity refers to the power of a wave.
Is a EM wave a sound wave?
electromagnetic wave is not a sound wave
What part of the electromagnetic spectrum does the ultrasonic wave falls into?
An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.
