Amplitude:
- The wave's crest is based off it
- Amplitude is the greatest distance the medium vibrates from the rest position
- In a transverse wave, amplitude is the measurement from the resting position to either the top of the wave (crest) or to the low part of the wave (trough)
- In longitudinal waves, the amplitude depends on the width of the wave and the thickness of the compression
- The wave's crest is based off it
