For electricity, a wave (in a wire) usually is expressed as volts. For radio waves, often the strength of B and E fields, or sometimes power (in watts). For an ocean wave, it could be measured in feet.

Why does a wave with a large amplitude carry more energy than one with small amplitude?
It is the same as why an object at higher place had more energy than one on the floor. Energy is the difference of potential, for kinetic energy example it is the height, greater height is greater energy. For the wave, energy could be stored in amplitude and frequency. Low amplitude or no amplitude is no energy and any amplitude higher than the zero amplitude would have more energy.
What is maximum displacement of the wave from equilibrium called?
The term for maximum displacement is the amplitude of the wave.
Would a surfer be more concerned about a wave's wavelength amplitude or frequency and why?
A surfer would be concerned mostly with a waves amplitude as the larger the amplitude, the higher the wave crest.
When there is reduction in amplitude over every cycle of vibration then the body is said to have?
This would be an example of damping or resistance present in the vibrating system.
What is an example of amplitude of a wave?
It's height. Think of a tall water wave that surfers use. Those waves have a large amplitude.
What is the amplitude of an X ray?
There is no specific amplitude for each type of wave. You should consider the amplitude to be the loudness of the wave for example the louder the sound the larger the amplitude.

How does amplitude modulation transmit ones to zeros?
Amplitude modulations can be used to transmit binary data. Remember AM modulation is done using a single carrier frequency, and increasing or decreasing the amplitude. A high amplitude would be considered a '1', and a low amplitude would be considered a '0' (typically).

Does amplitude mean louder?
No. Amplitude refers to the height of a wave. If the wave is a sound wave a larger amplitude would mean a louder sound.
What is an antonym of amplitude?
The antonym or opposite of amplitude would be SMALL or PUNY. Hope it helped ALLEN306
Is amplitude same as period?
No. If compared to ocean waves, amplitude would be wave height, and period would be how long to next wave.
What is that it gets stronger as you get closer to it?
sound wave amplitude is one example
How are amplitude and velocity related?
If you record your voice for example you have a certain amplitude and a certain velocity. If you listen to the recording and slow it down your velocity wil slow down and the amplitude will stretch wich will make it sound lower.
