Amplitude? If it were a waveform on an oscilloscope that's what it would be.

Thanks for that it is the peak value on a sinewave

Amplitude

Amplitude is the magnitude of change in the oscillating variable, with each oscillation, within an oscillating system. For instance, sound waves are oscillations in atmospheric pressure and their amplitudes are proportional to the change in pressure during one oscillation. If the variable undergoes regular oscillations, and a graph of the system is drawn with the oscillating variable as the vertical axis and time as the horizontal axis, the amplitude is visually represented by the vertical distance between the extrema of the curve.

Peak, average, mean or level, it could be any of these.

Oh bugger I was just about to say that.
