Is amplitude ...

Question

Is amplitude always positive

Open in App

Solution

Explanation:
Wave amplitudes, on the other hand, are always positive.
The amplitude, or peak amplitude, of a wave or vibration, can be used to determine how far it has deviated from its central value.
Hence, the amplitude is always positive.
