amplitude /am·pli·tude/ (am´plĭ-tldbomacd) 1. largeness, fullness; wideness in range or extent. 2. in a phenomenon that occurs in waves, the maximal deviation of a wave from the baseline. amplitude of accommodation amount of accommodative power of the eye. amplitude [am′plityo̅o̅d] Etymology: L, amplus, wide the width or breadth of range or extent, such as amplitude of accommodation or amplitude of convergence. amplitude largeness, fullness; wideness or breadth of range or extent. amplitude mode see A-mode ultrasonography. amplitude Cardiac pacing The maximum absolute value attained by an electrical waveform, or any quantity that varies periodically; pacemaker amplitudes express the value of the potential difference in volts or current flow in amperes;
pacemaker output pulses have typically averaged 5 volts and 10 milliamps. See Relative fusional vergence. How to thank TFD for its existence? Tell a friend about us, add a link to this page, add the site to iGoogle, or visit webmaster's page for free fun content. |

Figure 5 shows the normalized EMG amplitudes of the IO and EO
during a 4-second window of the 2-handed, large-amplitude, vertical
orientation of the blade trial. The results are shown in
real time as a spatiotemporal graph and pressure profiles for
quantitative wave amplitudes (figure, A and B). The sound
waves have different heights, or amplitudes, which make them louder or
softer. |
