Mr. Anderson explains wave amplitude, the maximum displacement in a wave, using examples like tsunamis. He describes how amplitude changes as waves approach land and discusses sensors for early detection. The video covers longitudinal and transverse waves, showing how to measure amplitude in each. For transverse waves, amplitude is measured by displacement from equilibrium, while in longitudinal waves, it's determined by particle density. The video aims to help viewers understand graphical representations of wave amplitude.
