The distance from the top of the crest of the wave to the central point of the wave (the line that cuts through it).
In other words, the furthest it travels from the middle.

How is the amplitude of a longitudinal waved measured?
Amplitude of a longitudinal wave is measured as a change in pressure.
How do you think a wave's speed is measured?
Amplitude of the wave.
Maximum displacement of a wave is measured by?
by hertz and amplitude
What is the amplitude of a wave measured?
Decibels probably
What is the height of a wave measured from center to peak?
Amplitude
What are sound wave amplitudes?
the amplitude of a wave is measured from the peak to trough from a given period.
What is the height of a wave measured by the distance between the center of the wave and the crest or trough?
It is the amplitude
How is the energy of a wave relate to its amplitude?
wavelength is the distance from the peak of one wave to the peak of the next. In this diagram, the wavelength is measured from crest to crest, but the wavelength could be measured from trough to trough as well.A wave's amplitude is the maximum distance that a wave vibrates from its resting position. In a transverse wave, this means that the amplitude of the wave is the highest or lowest point. In a longitudinal wave, the amplitude is the maximum distance the wave travels back or forth. The more energy the wave has, the larger the amplitude will be.
What part of the wave is the amplitude?
Amplitude is the amount of deviation of a wave from the mean position , measured in Y axis when the sound waves are moving along the X axis.
Is amplitude measured from crest to crest?
Nope, Amplitude is the distance between the center line of a wave and the highest or lowest point.
Which property of a wave is defined as the height as measured from the resting position to the crest?
That is called the amplitude.
What is the distanced between waves called?
Wavelength, and is measured from one wave peak to another.
