The term amplitude is applied to the "strength" of some kind of harmonic motion. It could be mechanical energy, like sound or earthquake waves, or it could be electromagnetic, like radio waves or light. It could even be digital pulses, which are on's and off's. In all cases, the amplitude is a measure of the "power" or the "energy" in that motion or wave.
As regards high amplitude and low amplitude, this is a designation as the the "amount" of energy in a wave. There is a "zero" or "reference" in all motions of this kind, and amplitude could be viewed as a deviation from the "norm" in any case where the motion, movement or propagation of the "energy" is observed. Though without specific magnitude, we use "high" to denote "a lot" of energy, and "low" to specify that there is "a little" energy.

What else can I help you with?
How much energy does a low amplitude have?
A low amplitude wave carries less energy compared to a high amplitude wave. The energy of a wave is proportional to the square of its amplitude. Therefore, a wave with a low amplitude will have lower energy.
What is the difference between a sound of low pitch and high pitch amplitude or frequency?
Low pitch refers to the perceived frequency of a sound wave, while high pitch refers to a higher frequency. Amplitude, on the other hand, is the magnitude or intensity of a sound wave. A sound with high amplitude will be louder than one with low amplitude.
What is the science term for high or low waves from the rest called?
The science term for high or low waves from the rest is called amplitude. Amplitude refers to the maximum extent of a vibration or oscillation, measured from the position of equilibrium.
What is the loudnesss or softness of a sound?
The loudness of a sound is determined by the amplitude of the sound wave, measured in decibels (dB). Soft sounds have low amplitude and low decibel level, while loud sounds have high amplitude and high decibel level.
What kind of sound a low amplitude produce?
Low amplitude sound waves produce quieter sounds that are less intense and have lower volume. They are typically perceived as softer and less powerful compared to high amplitude sounds.

REM sleep is characterized by what frequency and what amplitude brain waves?
High frequency and low amplitude.

Can a low frequency wave have high amplitude?
Of course and vice versa.
How are frequency and amplitude related?
They're not. The same amplitude can have high or low frequency, and the same frequency can have large or small amplitude.
What kind of sound a low amplitude produce?
Low amplitude sound waves produce quieter sounds that are less intense and have lower volume. They are typically perceived as softer and less powerful compared to high amplitude sounds.
High frequency and a low amplitude represents what kind of sound?
the best describes a high frequency sound is high pitch!!..
The difference between a low amplitude sound wave and a high amplitude sound wave is what?
The difference is that a low wave have long and smooth wave and a high wave has skinny and cramped togetther waves
What are two ways sounds can be different?
Frequency (low or high sounds) and amplitude (loudness).
