Amplitude of the wave
The maximum distance the particles move away from their rest positions as a wave passes through a medium is the amplitude of the wave.
AMPLITUDE
Any wave oscillates about the equilibrium (rest) position with a maximum distance from equilibrium of A, which is the amplitude. This depends on the type of wave (water on pond, light, that parachute from elementary class...)
When measured, this distance (from normal to peak) is considered to be 1/2 of the amplitude. Amplitude is defined as the peak-to-peak distance.
the maxium distance the particals of the medium carrying a wave move away from their mean position
The distance between the highest crest and the rest position is the amplitude of the wave
