Not necessarily. "Amplitude" gives you an idea about how "strong" a wave is; the concept applies both to longitudinal and to transverse waves.

How is the amplitude of a longitudinal waved measured?
Amplitude of a longitudinal wave is measured as a change in pressure.
What happened to the particles in a longitudinal wave as the amplitude increases?
As amplitude increases, the particles in a longitudinal wave become denser.
A longitudinal wave has a large amplitude if?
It has a large amplitude if the compressions of the wave are dense.
What happens to the particles in a longitudinal wave as the amplitude increases?
the speed at which the energy travels increases.
What the amplitude of a longitudinal wave?
Depends on the amount of energy in the wave.
What measures the amount of displacement in a longitudinal?
the amplitude. It is the displacement at a peak.
What measures the amount of displacement in longitudinal wave?
the amplitude. It is the displacement at a peak.
What are the properties of a longitudinal and transverse waves?
speed,frequency, wavelength and amplitude
What is a wave described by?
Speed, direction, transverse or longitudinal, frequency and amplitude.
How do you measure amplitude in a longitudinal wave?
You measure the displacement in the waves high.
Which properties does a longitudinal wave lack?
Longitudinal waves have all the same properties as transverse waves: speed, frequency, wavelength, and amplitude
What is the amplitude of longitudinal?
The amplitude of a longitudinal wave is a measure of how compressed or rarefied the medium becomes. From: Cat (girl who had the exact same question as you... The answer is true because its in 'Prentice Hall Science Explorer Physical Science' book page 478.)
