Step-by-step explanation:

Amplitude, in physics, the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position. It is equal to one-half the length of the vibration path. ... Waves are generated by vibrating sources, their amplitude being proportional to the amplitude of the source.
