ALL meanings of amplitude
am·pli·tude
A a - variable noun amplitude In physics, the amplitude of a sound wave or electrical signal is its strength. 3
- uncountable noun amplitude Amplitude is the quality of being large in size or quantity. 3
- noun amplitude greatness of extent; magnitude 3
- noun amplitude abundance or copiousness 3
- noun amplitude breadth or scope, as of the mind 3
- noun amplitude the angular distance along the horizon measured from true east or west to the point of intersection of the vertical circle passing through a celestial body 3
- noun amplitude (of a complex number) the angle that the vector representing the complex number makes with the positive real axis. If the point (x, y) has polar coordinates (r, θ), the amplitude of x + iy is θ, that is, arctan y/x 3
- noun amplitude the maximum variation from the zero or mean value of a periodically varying quantity 3
- noun amplitude the quality of being ample or the amount or degree to which a thing extends 3
- noun amplitude an amount that is more than enough; abundance; fullness 3
- noun amplitude scope or breadth, as of mind 3
- noun amplitude the angular distance of a star from the true east or west point of the horizon, at the moment of its rising or setting 3
- noun amplitude the extreme range of a fluctuating quantity, as an alternating current or the swing of a pendulum, generally measured from the average or mean to the extreme 3

- noun amplitude large or full measure; abundance; copiousness. 1
- noun amplitude mental range, scope, or capacity. 1
- noun amplitude Physics. the absolute value of the maximum displacement from a zero value during one period of an oscillation. 1
- noun amplitude Electricity. the maximum deviation of an alternating current from its average value. 1
- noun amplitude Astronomy. the arc of the horizon measured from the east or west point to the point where a vertical circle through a heavenly body would intersect the horizon. 1

- noun amplitude measure of electrical current 1
- noun amplitude The measure of something's size, especially in terms of width or breadth; largeness, magnitude. 0
- noun amplitude (mathematics) The maximum absolute value of the vertical component of a curve or function, especially one that is periodic. 0
- noun amplitude (physics) The maximum absolute value of some quantity that varies. 0
- noun amplitude (astronomy) 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. 0
