Dimension vs. Amplitude: What's the Difference?

A measure of spatial extent, especially width, height, or length.

Greatness of size; magnitude.

Often dimensions Extent or magnitude; scope

Fullness; copiousness.

Aspect; element

Breadth or range, as of intelligence.

The least number of independent coordinates required to specify uniquely the points in a space.

(Astronomy) The angular distance along the horizon from true east or west to the intersection of the vertical circle of a celestial body with the horizon.

The range of such a coordinate.

(Physics) The maximum absolute value of a periodically varying quantity.

(Physics) A physical property, such as mass, distance, time, or a combination thereof, regarded as a fundamental measure of a physical quantity

The maximum absolute value of a periodic curve measured along its vertical axis.

A realm of existence, as in a work of fiction, that is physically separate from another such realm

The angle made with the positive horizontal axis by the vector representation of a complex number.

To cut or shape to specified dimensions.

(Electronics) The maximum absolute value reached by a voltage or current waveform.

To mark with specified dimensions.

The measure of something's size, especially in terms of width or breadth; largeness, magnitude.

A single aspect of a given thing.

(mathematics) The maximum absolute value of the vertical component of a curve or function, especially one that is periodic.

A measure of spatial extent in a particular direction, such as height, width or breadth, or depth.

(physics) The maximum absolute value of some quantity that varies.

A construct whereby objects or individuals can be distinguished.

(astronomy) The arc of the horizon between the true east or west point and the center of the sun, or a star, at its rising or setting. At the rising, the amplitude is eastern or ortive: at the setting, it is western, occiduous, or occasive. It is also northern or southern, when north or south of the equator.

(geometry) The number of independent coordinates needed to specify uniquely the location of a point in a space; also, any of such independent coordinates.

(astronomy) The arc of the horizon between the true east or west point and the foot of the vertical circle passing through any star or object.

(linear algebra) The number of elements of any basis of a vector space.

(firearms) The horizontal line which measures the distance to which a projectile is thrown; the range.

(physics) One of the physical properties that are regarded as fundamental measures of a physical quantity, such as mass, length and time.

State of being ample; extent of surface or space; largeness of dimensions; size.

(computing) Any of the independent ranges of indices in a multidimensional array.

Largeness, in a figurative sense; breadth; abundance; fullness.

A universe or plane of existence.

The arc of the horizon between the true east or west point and the center of the sun, or a star, at its rising or setting. At the rising, the amplitude is eastern or ortive: at the setting, it is western, occiduous, or occasive. It is also northern or southern, when north or south of the equator.

(transitive) To mark, cut or shape something to specified dimensions.

The horizontal line which measures the distance to which a projectile is thrown; the range.

To specify the size of (an array or similar data structure); to allocate.

The extent of a movement measured from the starting point or position of equilibrium; - applied especially to vibratory movements.

In 24 Hours|page=268

An angle upon which the value of some function depends; - a term used more especially in connection with elliptic functions.

Measure in a single line, as length, breadth, height, thickness, or circumference; extension; measurement; - usually, in the plural, measure in length and breadth, or in length, breadth, and thickness; extent; size; as, the dimensions of a room, or of a ship; the dimensions of a farm, of a kingdom.

(physics) the maximum displacement of a periodic wave

Extent; reach; scope; importance; as, a project of large dimensions.

The property of copious abundance

The degree of manifoldness of a quantity; as, time is quantity having one dimension; volume has three dimensions, relative to extension.

Greatness of magnitude

A literal factor, as numbered in characterizing a term. The term dimensions forms with the cardinal numbers a phrase equivalent to degree with the ordinal; thus, a2b2c is a term of five dimensions, or of the fifth degree.

The manifoldness with which the fundamental units of time, length, and mass are involved in determining the units of other physical quantities.

The magnitude of something in a particular direction (especially length or width or height)

A construct whereby objects or individuals can be distinguished;

One of three cartesian coordinates that determine a position in space

Magnitude or extent;

Indicate the dimensions on;

Shape or form to required dimensions
