In the case of sound, amplitude is related to volume or loudness.- loud sounds generate waves of larger amplitude and your ear would register sound waves of large amplitude as louder.

Why does the amplitude depend on the height of a wave?
This is just the definition of "amplitude". The amplitude of a wave is the height of the wave. "Amplitude" is a fancier name for "height" when we speak about waves.
Does wave speed depend on wave amplitude?
No. Wave speed depends on frequency and wavelength, not amplitude.
Does the energy of a mechanical wave depend on the amplitude of the wave?
Yes
What does the energy of a mechanical wave depend on?
In fact, energy of the wave is one interpretation of a wave's amplitude. Many versions of amplitude exist. If amplitude has a specific meaning and a specific unit...it needs to be specified. Some examples are displacement amplitude, energy amplitude, pressure amplitude, restoring force amplitude, intensity, decibel level, etcetera.
What is maximum displacement of the wave from equilibrium called?
The term for maximum displacement is the amplitude of the wave.

Does the energy of a mechanical wave depend on the amplitude of the wave?
Yes
How amplitude of a wave depend on the distance from focus?
amplitude of a wave depends on the intensity and goes on decreasing from its mean position

The term for maximum displacement is the amplitude of the wave.
Is amplitude a measure of a waves energy?
Not exactly. The amplitude of a mechanical wave means how much the particles move from their resting position. The amplitude of an electrical wave specificies how much the voltage or current varies, etc. The amount of energy for a specific wave does depend on the amplitude - more amplitude means more energy. However, the energy also depends on other factors.
A wave with high amplitude does what?
what does a wave with high amplitude have
Does the energy of a wave depend on the amplitude of the wave?
Yes dude the energy of wave depends upon the amplitude The more the trough ( upper part of wave) moves away from the peroendicular distance the more it spends energy i.e. energy is inversely proportional to ampltitude
How is the amplitude of a wave related to the wave?
Energy content of the wave is dependent on the amplitude of the wave
What controls the amplitude of a wave?
wellllll energy of the wave controls the amplitude of a wave
What does the amplitude of a compressional wave depend on?
Well, I take it you mean a wave in the air, like a sound wave (alternating compressions of air). Volume of a sound wave ( a type of compressional wave) is our perception of its amplitude, the amplitude is a measure in the intensity of the waves, or the amount of variation in air pressure. Our perception of pitch varies with the frequency, or how frequently the alternations in air pressure persist.
