Graph of a periodic wave, with a dashed midline cutting through the middle of the wave. The high points on the wave are labeled 'crests', the low points labeled 'troughs', the distance between peaks or troughs labeled 'period / wavelength, and the distance between the midline and a peak or trough labeled 'amplitude'

Based on what you can learn from the diagram, describe what each of the terms means in your own words.
