Question

Draw a figure depicting low amplitude and high amplitude.

Answer 1

The amplitude of a wave is related to the amount of energy it carries. That is, a low amplitude wave carries a small amount of energy whereas the high amplitude wave carries a large amount of energy. Hence the high amplitude wave is taller than the low amplitude wave.

Complete answer:
Amplitude: It is defined as the measure of how far a wave rises and falls. A wave amplitude is also defined as half the distance from its highest point to its lowest point. It is proportional to the energy of a wave higher the energy higher the amplitude similarly lower the energy lower the amplitude.
It is the height of a wave as we measure it from the highest point of the wave to the lowest point on the wave which we call crest and trough respectively.Hence we can say it as measure from the crest to the trough. We can increase the size of the amplitude by making larger motions.
Figure:

Wave having amplitude $A_0$ is the higher amplitude wave and the wave having amplitude $A_0’$ is the lower amplitude wave.

Note:
Note that lower amplitude is always smaller than the higher amplitude as it has lesser energy as compared to higher one. The average amount of energy passing through an area per unit time in a specific direction is called the intensity of the wave.
