Amplitude

The video tutorial explains the concept of amplitude in wave studies. It describes amplitude as the maximum displacement of a wave from its rest position, illustrated on a wave diagram as the height between the peak and midpoint. The tutorial also discusses the relationship between amplitude and energy, using sound waves as an example, where a larger amplitude results in a louder sound.

What does maximum displacement refer to in wave terminology?

In what way does the amplitude of a sound wave affect its loudness?
