The amplitude of a wave is
the distance the wave moves in one second
the distance equal to one wave length
the maximum distance moved by the particles of a medium on either side of the mean position.
the distance the wave moves in one time period of the wave
The motion of the particles of a medium when a sound wave is passing through it is:
random
translatory
rotatory
oscillatory
