L'amplitude exprime l'intensité de l'onde électromagnétique. Plus l'amplitude est grande, plus la radiation est intense. L'énergie transmise par l'onde est proportionnelle au carré de l'amplitude du champ électrique. Elle est aussi proportionnelle à la fréquence, selon la théorie des quanta ou théorie corpusculaire de la lumière. 2, record 3, French, - amplitude

L'image complexe fournit une amplitude et une phase en tout point : l'amplitude (résultat de la détection) permet de produire une image en niveaux de gris; la phase est notamment liée à la géométrie d'acquisition : elle permet d'exploiter un couple d'images par des techniques d'interférométrie. 3, record 3, French, - amplitude

L'amplitude est l'écart entre deux valeurs extrêmes, et non, comme en mathématiques, la moitié de l'écart entre les crêtes et les vallées d'une sinusoide. On applique la notion d'amplitude à tous les éléments du climat qui subissent des variations périodiques et, en particulier, à la température. L'intervalle choisi peut être le jour, le mois ou l'année. L'amplitude de la variation annuelle de la température (écart entre la moyenne du mois le plus chaud et celle du mois le plus froid) est souvent utilisée pour définir les climats thermiques. 4, record 4, French, - amplitude
