Amplitude of the wave
A wave's ___________ is a measure of how far the particles in a medium move away from their normal rest position.
Amplitude.
The amplitude.
Any wave oscillates about the equilibrium (rest) position with a maximum distance from equilibrium of A, which is the amplitude. This depends on the type of wave (water on pond, light, that parachute from elementary class...)

A wave's ___________ is a measure of how far the particles in a medium move away from their normal rest position.
Amplitude.
The amplitude.
The maximum distance the particles move away from their rest positions as a wave passes through a medium is the amplitude of the wave.
Any wave oscillates about the equilibrium (rest) position with a maximum distance from equilibrium of A, which is the amplitude. This depends on the type of wave (water on pond, light, that parachute from elementary class...)
When measured, this distance (from normal to peak) is considered to be 1/2 of the amplitude. Amplitude is defined as the peak-to-peak distance.
When a smell spreads, the particles move away from where they originated to where there are relatively few of them.

The position of the particles in a solid do not change. However they are said to move back and forth or vibrate in their same position.
