In a transverse wave,amplitudeis the measure from the resting position to either the crest (high point of the wave) or to the trough (low point of the wave.)
In a transverse wave,amplitudeis the measure from the resting position to either the crest (high point of the wave) or to the trough (low point of the wave.)
The amount of compression of a compression wave is like the amplitude of a transverse wave.

There are two types of waves: longitudinal and transverse. In a longitudinal wave, the wave moves parallel to the disturbance. In a transverse wave, the wave moves in a direction perpendicular to the direction of disturbance in the medium. For example, in a vibrating string, the string moves up and down, but the pulse travels down the string. The wave moves in a direction perpendicular to the way the string moves. The amplitude of a wave is a measure of its size, or the distance between its peak and trough. It is also a measure of the amount of energyin a wave. While amplitude is hard to calculate for longitudinal waves, it is a fairly simple task to calculate in transverse waves.Instructions1 Find the point where the string (or other medium) is farthest from horizontal in one direction.2 Measure the distance between that point and the horizontal.3 Double that distance. This is the amplitude.

A wave is composed of an amplitude and a wavelength. A transverse wave contains oscillations perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling, for instance, a sine wave.

To measure the amplitude of a transverse wave, you measure the the maximum displacement of a point in the wave's medium relative to the medium's resting position. The more energy the wave has, th more the medium will be displaced. D
