  2. Oscillatory motion is defined as the to and fro motion of an object from its mean position.
  3. The amplitude of oscillation of a body performing oscillation is the maximum distance traveled from its mean position.
  4. It is the distance between the crest or trough and the mean position of the wave.
  5. If the amplitude of a sound wave is large, then the loudness of the sound will be more.
  6. If the amplitude is small, then the sound will be feeble.
  7. The amplitude of oscillation is noted with 'A'
  8. The SI unit of amplitude is meterm
