Amplitude is a measure of the change in a periodic or non-periodic variable in a single period

. In physics, it refers to the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position

. The amplitude of a wave is proportional to the energy it carries, and it is measured in units such as meters, volts, or decibels

. In sound waves, the amplitude relates to the loudness of the sound, with higher amplitudes corresponding to louder sounds

. In product analytics, Amplitude is a digital analytics platform that tracks and analyzes user behavior to help build better products
