### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Amplitude**: - Amplitude is defined as the maximum displacement of particles in a medium from their rest position when a wave passes through. In the case of sound waves, it refers to how far the particles in the medium move from their equilibrium position (rest position) to the crest (the highest point of the wave) or trough (the lowest point of the wave). 2. **Visualizing Amplitude**: - Imagine a sound wave represented graphically. The distance from the rest position to the crest of the wave is the amplitude. If the wave is represented as a sine wave, the amplitude is the height of the wave from the center line (rest position) to the peak (crest). ...
