The vertical axis measures signal strength. Normally in volts.
On the Y-axis of an oscilloscope, the vertical measurement typically represents voltage. This axis displays the amplitude of the electrical signal being analyzed, allowing users to observe variations in voltage over time. The scale can be adjusted to reflect different voltage levels, enabling detailed analysis of signal characteristics.

If you're talking about a graph then here's your answer... There are to axis's the x axis (horizontal) and the y axis (vertical). So your talking about the vertical scale so since a graph is shaped like an L the vertical part would contain the scale (numbers along the side) so that you can read a bar graph easier
a scale with diffrent numbers
Time (horizontal scale) versus Amplitude (vertical scale).
What is the scale vertical axis
The horizontal and vertical amplifier in the cathode-ray oscilloscope are deflection plates. The horizontal amplifier causes the beam to be deflected horizontally at a rate that is uniform. The vertical amplifier causes the beam to deflect vertically.
The scale of a vertical bar graph is written on the vertical axis.
The vertical axis measures signal strength. Normally in volts.
The vertical axis on an oscilloscope is used to measure the amplitude of a waveform. This axis represents the voltage level of the signal being displayed on the screen.
The loudness of a sound is represented by the amplitude of the wave displayed on an oscilloscope. Higher amplitudes indicate louder sounds, while lower amplitudes indicate quieter sounds. The vertical axis of the oscilloscope shows the amplitude of the sound wave.
The vertical axis!
To measure peak voltage using an oscilloscope, adjust the voltage scale setting on the vertical axis until the entire waveform is visible on the screen. Then, use the cursors or measurement tools on the oscilloscope to determine the maximum amplitude of the waveform, which represents the peak voltage. You can directly read the peak-to-peak value if it's available, or calculate it by multiplying the peak voltage by 2 if only the peak amplitude is displayed.
