Question

The maximum displacement of the wave from its mean position is called as __________.

Answer 1

1. Amplitude is measured as the maximum displacement of a wave from its mean position.
2. The topmost point and the lowest point of the waves give the position of the maximum displacement of the particles of a wave.
3. The SI unit of amplitude is metre (m). Two waves with the same frequency can have different amplitudes.

Hence, the maximum displacement of the wave from its mean position is called amplitude.
