• crest

• frequency

• range

• wavelength

A local surf report provides the height of the wave from the trough to the crest of the wave. How does this relate to the wave’s amplitude?

• It is less than the wave’s amplitude.

• It is equal to the wave’s amplitude.

• It is about twice the wave’s amplitude.

• It is about half of the wave’s amplitude.
