Empty space than through matter

Gases than through liquids

How has light been described?

as only a wave

What is amplitude?

Amplitude is the number of complete waves that pass a point in a second.

Amplitude is the height of a wave.

Amplitude is the distance between two crests or two troughs.

Amplitude is the time it takes for one complete wave to pass a given point.

Answer 1

To answer the question "What is amplitude?", first look at the context of the question. A poem is also given before the questions which discusses about sound waves. Therefore, considering the context above, amplitude is the height of the wave.
