how do you measure the amplitude of a wave?

Frequency is the number of wave cycles passing a point per unit time. It is another important wave parameter, but there is no relationship between amplitude and frequency. Changing one does not affect the other. Amplitude cannot be calculated from frequency , and frequency cannot be calculated from amplitude.21 Eyl 2021

Sound energy travels in waves and is measured in frequency and amplitude. Amplitude measures how forceful the wave is . It is measured on a Logarithmic scale and reported[1] in decibels or dBA of sound pressure. 0 dBA is the softest level that a person can hear.

It turns out that the amplitude tells you how much energy is in the wave . A high amplitude wave is a high-energy wave, and a low-amplitude wave is a low-energy wave.

Amplitude is generally calculated by looking on a graph of a wave and measuring the height of the wave from the resting position . The amplitude is a measure of the strength or intensity of the wave.
