The value of 0.5 cm represents the amplitude of the wave. Amplitude is the maximum vertical distance from the equilibrium position to a crest or trough of the wave.
Use the diagram to answer the question.
An illustration shows a wave with a horizontal distance between two consecutive troughs as 2 cm, and a maximum vertical distance above the horizontal line as 0.5 cm.
