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.
The amplitude of a wave is the maximum displacement of a particle from its rest position. For example, in a water wave, the amplitude would be the distance between the crest (highest point) and the trough (lowest point) of the wave.
The term for maximum displacement is the amplitude of the wave.
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.
The unit for amplitude is the same as the quantity being measured. For example, for sound waves, the unit could be decibels (dB). There is no specific symbol for amplitude as it depends on the context, but it is often represented by "A" or "Α".
A high amplitude light wave would appear brighter and more intense compared to a low amplitude light wave. It would have larger fluctuations in its brightness and a stronger visual impact.

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.

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).
The antonym or opposite of amplitude would be SMALL or PUNY. Hope it helped ALLEN306

Amplify, ample, and amplification all have the same root word as amplitude, which is "ample".

Wave amplitude is the strong or weak of the wave, like in sound, it would be the volume.
Amplitude squared is the amount of energy in a wave. The simplest calculations would be for a string wave.

Because sound waves are displacements of molecules of the medium they travel through, reducing the amplitude would mean decreasing the displacement the molecules experience as the wave passes through. Even though sound waves are longitudinal (meaning the displacement is in the direction the wave travels in) and waves in water are transversal (the displacement is perpendicular to the wave's direction), an example can be found in water waves; reducing the amplitude in water waves would reduce the size/height of the waves. In the case of audible sound waves reducing the amplitude will decrease the volume of the sound.
