Magnitudes on the Richter scale are measured logarithmically, with each whole number increase representing ten times more in measured amplitude.

By examining how the strength of electronic order at one location relates to that at another, the researchers showed how coherence breaks down across the transition while local amplitude remains present.

Even minute amounts of strain, far too small to detect with conventional optical methods, were enough to significantly weaken the CDW amplitude.

Olympic halfpipes are 6.7m high, with Atkin achieving an amplitude of more than 5m during her final.

Some of them were very tall; many were dressed in white; and all had a sweeping amplitude of array that seemed to magnify their persons as a mist magnifies the moon.

The phenomenon also occurs in other animals, including non-human primates and rodents, and happens with other modalities too, such as sound amplitudes and frequencies.

This created pressure waves with particular amplitudes, which were stretched out by later cosmic expansion to a bit less than half a billion light-years.

From Scientific American ● Sep. 27, 2023

In the earlier research into octopus brain waves, scientists described slow and prolonged oscillations with large amplitudes, unlike any brain wave produced by other animals.

This model works well enough for lower swinging amplitudes, but it falls apart as the amplitude of a swing increases.

The idea came slowly; but it dawned, something like the conception of astronomy’s amplitudes, of the remoteness of the beyond of Amazonas, that new world I had just entered.
