(N/A) Definition: The amplitude of a wave is defined as the maximum displacement of the particles of the medium from their mean or equilibrium position during the propagation of the wave.
Unit: The $SI$ unit of amplitude is the meter $(m)$.
Dimensional Formula: Since amplitude represents a length,its dimensional formula is $[M^0 L^1 T^0]$.
