Question

Amplitude of a wave is a measure of its energy.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Explanation:

1. Amplitude is the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position.
2. It is equal to one-half the length of the vibration path. The amplitude of a wave refers to the maximum displacement of a particle on the medium from its resting position.
3. In a sense, the amplitude is the distance from rest to crest.
4. Amplitude is a measurement of the amount of energy transferred by a wave.

Hence, the given statement is true.
