What the amplitude of a wave measures?
amplitude measures the highest and lowest points in a wave from a fixed position e.g. if a wave has a constant height value of +10 and -10, and the fixed position is 0, then the amplitude would be +10 or -10. additional information, frequency measures the time taken for a wave to make one single oscillation, going from +10, through 0, through -10, back through 0 to the start point of +10.
