That is called the amplitude.
It is called the Amplitude. The crest isn't right because the crest/peaks are only the highest points in a wave. People always mix them up.
That's the wave's "amplitude".
The point in which the wave is at rest or is at its resting state.

amplitude
It returns to its original resting position.
The point in which the wave is at rest or is at its resting state.
crest
The characteristic of a wave that describes the greatest distance it travels, or vibrates from a resting position is called the amplitude, which is the technical name. A more common name would be loudness.
In a transverse wave,amplitudeis the measure from the resting position to either the crest (high point of the wave) or to the trough (low point of the wave.)
It measures the maximum displacement of a particle in the wave from the equilibrium position. The equilibrium position is also known as the resting position. When displacement of the particle equal to the amplitude, we say that it is at the amplitude, where it is furthest from its equilibrium position.
