Answer the following question given this paragraph: 

(A) A wave consists of alternation crests and troughs. The wavelength (λ) is defined as the distance between any two consecutive identical points on the waveform. The amplitude is the height of the wave. (B) A wave with a short wavelength (top) has a high frequency because more waves pass a given point in a certain amount of time. A wave with a longer wavelength (bottom) has a lower frequency.


Q: What is the term for the height of the wave?

 Choices:

- magnitude

- frequency

- vibration

- amplitude

A:
amplitude
