The value 0.5 cm represents the amplitude of the wave. Amplitude is defined as the maximum vertical distance from the equilibrium position (or the horizontal line) to the peak (crest) or the 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.
What does the value 0.5 cm represent for the wave?
