2. Amplitude
   The amplitude of a seismic wave is the amount the ground moves as the wave passes by. (As an illustration, the amplitude of an ocean wave is one-half the distance between the peak and trough of the wave. The amplitude of a seismic wave can be measured from the signal recorded on a seismogram.)

12. Amplitude
    A digital audio file`s sound levels or electrical signal levels. It refers to the height of a waveform—the greater a sound wave's amplitude, the louder it sounds. Most software audio programs allow viewing the amplitude of the waveform for detailed editing.

13. Amplitude
    The maximum distance from the equilibrium position that occurs in periodic motion.

14. amplitude
    The displacement of a wave from zero. The maximum amplitude for a wave is the height of a peak or the depth of a trough, relative to the zero displacement line.

15. amplitude
    The maximum displacement that an oscillation or wave has from its rest position. A measure of the energy contained in the motion or wave, large amplitude sounds are louder; large amplitude light waves are brighter.
