Amplitude refers to the amount by which something is displaced from the middle of its periodic motion. It can mean the maximum disturbance from the neutral position of a wave. It represents the intensity of a vibration, e.g. the loudness of a sound.

According to the dictionary, amplitude is: "the maximum extent of a vibration or oscillation, measured from the position of equilibrium."
