Amplitude

What do we mean by amplitude?

Greatness of size; magnitude. noun

Fullness; copiousness. noun

Breadth or range, as of intelligence. noun

The angular distance along the horizon from true east or west to the intersection of the vertical circle of a celestial body with the horizon. noun

The maximum absolute value of a periodically varying quantity. noun

The maximum absolute value of a periodic curve measured along its vertical axis. noun

The angle made with the positive horizontal axis by the vector representation of a complex number. noun

The maximum absolute value reached by a voltage or current waveform. noun

In function theory, if x = ξ + in, let the polar coördinates of (ξ, η) be ρ, θ, then any one of the angles θ or θ + 2nπ, where n is any positive or negative integer, may be called the amplitude of x. noun

In meteorology, the range or difference between the maximum and minimum values of the temperature, pressure, or other meteorological element within a definite time, such as a day, a month, or a year. noun

The state or quality of being ample in size; extension in space, especially breadth or width; largeness; extent. noun

The state of being ample in amount; breadth in a figurative sense; fullness; abundance; copiousness. noun

Largeness of mind; extent of mental capacity or of intellectual power; breadth of thought. noun

In mathematics: In algebra, a positive real number multiplied by a root of unity. The positive real number is said to be the amplitude of the product. In elliptic integrals, the limit of integration when the integral is expressed in the usual trigonometric form. noun

In astronomy, the arc of the horizon intercepted between the east or west point and the center of the sun or of a star at its rising or setting. noun

The angle whose tangent is the hyperbolic sine of u. noun

State of being ample; extent of surface or space; largeness of dimensions; size. noun

Largeness, in a figurative sense; breadth; abundance; fullness. noun

Of extent of capacity or intellectual powers. noun

The measure of something's size, especially in terms of width or breadth; largeness, magnitude.

The maximum absolute value of the vertical component of a curve or function, especially one that is periodic.

The maximum absolute value of some quantity that varies.

The arc of the horizon between the true east or west point and the center of the sun, or a star, at its rising or setting. At the rising, the amplitude is eastern or ortive: at the setting, it is western, occiduous, or occasive. It is also northern or southern, when north or south of the equator.

The arc of the horizon between the true east or west point and the foot of the vertical circle passing through any star or object.

The horizontal line which measures the distance to which a projectile is thrown; the range.
