Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
Amplitude is the maximum displacement of the vibrating particle from equilibrium position to the extreme position. It is half of the maximum displacement of a vibrating particle from one extreme position to another. It can also be defined as the height of the wave above the axis. Meter (m) is the SI unit of amplitude. If the amplitude of a sound wave is more, the sound is louder.
