This is a wave. Select the point that represents the

REST POSITION

This is a wave. Select the point that represents the

TROUGH

This is a wave. Select the point that represents the

PEAK

The distance that a wave is away from its rest position is called the:

• displacement

• amplitude

• peak

• wavelength

The distance from the peak/crest to the trough is called the:

• wavelength

• rest position

• amplitude

• twice the amplitude
