The correct phrase that defines the amplitude of a wave is:
**the vertical distance from the crest or trough of a wave to the equilibrium.**
This definition accurately describes amplitude as the maximum displacement from the rest position (equilibrium) in a wave.
**the vertical distance from the crest or trough of a wave to the equilibrium.**
This definition accurately describes amplitude as the maximum displacement from the rest position (equilibrium) in a wave.
