In a wave, what do you call the difference from crest to crest or trough to trough amplitude crest frequency wavelength

Shadow:

What do you think the answer is?

Shadow:

Try googling each term and let me know which one you think the answer is. I'll let you know if it's correct or not.

Shadow:

@trashhh

trashhh:

i think its amplitude

Shadow:

Did you google amplitude?

trashhh:

yes

Shadow:

What did you get?

trashhh:

its from the center line of a wave to the top of the crest or the bottom of the trough

Shadow:

Amplitude - the maximum extent of a vibration or oscillation, measured from the position of equilibrium.

Shadow:

Does that sound like it?

trashhh:

isnt it the amplitude of the wave?

Shadow:

It's asking for a word that meets the definition of "In a wave, what do you call the difference from crest to crest or trough to trough"
