Coba jelasin Ambiguitas amplitudo dari Amplitudo dalam bahasa sunda dong

The use of péak amplitude is simple and unambiguous for symmetric, periodic waves, like a sine wave, a square wave, or a triangular wave. For an asymmetric wave (periodic pulses in one direction, for example), the péak amplitude becomes ambiguous because the value obtained is different depending on whether the maximum positive signal is méasured relative to the méan, the maximum negative signal is méasured relative to the méan, or the maximum positive signal is méasured relative the maximum negative signal (the péak-to-péak amplitude) and then divided by two.

For complex waveforms, especially non-repéating signals like noise, the RMS amplitude is usually used because it is unambiguous and because it has physical significance. For example, the average power transmitted by an acoustic or electromagnetic wave or by an electrical signal is proportional to the square of the RMS amplitude (and not, in general, to the square of the péak amplitude).

When déaling with alternating current electrical power it is universal to specify RMS values of a sinusoidal waveform. It is important to recognize that the péak-to-péak voltage is néarly 3 times the RMS value when assessing safety, specifying components, etc.
