the amplitude. It is the displacement at a peak.
You measure the length between the center line of the wave and the crest. Most of the time you can measure the distance between the crest and trough, and then divide that value by two.
The amount of displacement in a wave is called the AMPLITUDE - whether the wave is longitudinal or transverse.
the amplitude
Longitudinal Wave
You measure the displacement in the waves high.
In a transverse wave the particle displacement is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation (at right angles). In a longitudinal wave the particle displacement is parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
The type of wave that has the least amount of energy is the longitudinal wave. In contrast, the wave with the most amount of energy is a seismic wave.

No it does not have any displacement. I beg to differ:I say: Yes, for example sound is a longitudinal wave that is a "displacement" of a compression of the medium that occur in the direction of propagation.
it is sideways displacement vs. lengthwise or rotational.
Depends on the amount of energy in the wave.
In a transverse wave the particle displacement is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation (at right angles). In a longitudinal wave the particle displacement is parallel to the direction of wave propagation.

Sound waves are longitudinal.
Because the media displacement (up & down movement of the string) is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. Sound waves are longitudinal waves because the medi displacement is back & forth, which is parallel to the wave propagation.
It measures the maximum displacement of a particle in the wave from the equilibrium position. The equilibrium position is also known as the resting position. When displacement of the particle equal to the amplitude, we say that it is at the amplitude, where it is furthest from its equilibrium position.
