Want this question answered?
Amplitudethe maximum distance the particles of the medium carrying the wave move away from their rest position
It seems most likely to me that you're talking about wave motion, so I will assume so. The maximum distance of particles from their rest position is called the amplitude.

A wave's ___________ is a measure of how far the particles in a medium move away from their normal rest position.
Amplitude of the wave
A wave's ___________ is a measure of how far the particles in a medium move away from their normal rest position.
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...)
The maximum distance is called its peak. The distance between the wave's positive and negative peaks is its amplitude.
amplitude :)
The maximum distance the particles move away from their rest positions as a wave passes through a medium is the amplitude of the wave.
