amplitude

/ˈæm.plɪ.tjuːd/

Amplitude refers to the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position. It essentially describes the height or strength of a wave, such as sound or light, and can also denote breadth or range in a more general sense.

Notas de uso

While 'amplitude' is a technical term in physics and engineering to describe wave height, it can be used metaphorically in business or literature to describe the 'extent' or 'fullness' of a phenomenon.

⚠️

Erros comuns

Learners often confuse amplitude with loudness. While higher amplitude usually results in a louder sound, amplitude is the physical measurement of the wave, not the subjective perception of sound.
