Detailed explanation-1: -Wave amplitude of a transverse wave is the difference in height between the crest and the resting position. The crest is the highest point particles of the medium reach. The higher the crests are, the greater the amplitude of the wave.
Detailed explanation-2: -Amplitude in a transverse wave is measured by the distance from the rest position of the medium to one of the crests or one of the troughs. The energy carried by a transverse wave increases as the amplitude of the wave increases. Waves that have larger amplitude have more energy.
Detailed explanation-3: -The horizontal distance between two adjacent crests or troughs is known as the wavelength.
Detailed explanation-4: -The amplitude ( ) of a wave is the distance from the centre line (or the still position) to the top of a crest or to the bottom of a trough .
Detailed explanation-5: -One such property is amplitude. The amplitude of a wave refers to the maximum amount of displacement of a particle on the medium from its rest position. In a sense, the amplitude is the distance from rest to crest. Similarly, the amplitude can be measured from the rest position to the trough position.
