Question

amplitude is: a. the noise floor acceptable in recording. b. the distance between two identical points on a wave. c. the number of waves in a certain amount of time. d. the distance between the top or bottom of a wave and the center of the wave.

Explanation:

Amplitude in waves is defined as the maximum displacement from the equilibrium (center) position of the wave, which is the distance from the top or bottom of a wave to its center. Option A refers to noise - floor, Option B is wavelength, and Option C is frequency.

Answer:

D. the distance between the top or bottom of a wave and the center of the wave.
