displacement is the vector quantity and the distance is scalar quantity, displacement is the shortest distance between two points.
Ask Sheldon Cooper
Position is a vector and displacement is also a vector. The difference is that, position describes a specific point relative to a reference point and displacement is the straight-line distance and direction from one point to another.
The distance between the line of origin and the crest/trough of a wave is called the amplitude of the wave.
Frequency: Frequency is also equal to the wavelength divided by the velocity and is designated as the number of cycles (or peaks) per second. Amplitude: Amplitude is the absolute value of the magnitude of the displacement of a wave from a mean value and is designated as mV
Amplitude is used for different waves. For a water wave, the amplitude might be measured in units of length (meters or centimeters), for a sound wave, in units of pressure, for an electromagnetic wave, in terms of electrical properties, for an electrical signal, in volts, etc. - so it really depends on the kind of wave.
The term for maximum displacement is the amplitude of the wave.
The amplitude of a sound wave is a measure of the distance between the rest position and the maximum displacement of the particle from its rest position. It is equal to half the total displacement of a vibrating particle.

by hertz and amplitude
the amplitude. It is the displacement at a peak.
the amplitude. It is the displacement at a peak.
the amplitude. It is the displacement at a peak.
There is not only "one" amplitude. There is an amplitude of particle displacement ξ, or displacement amplitude, an amplitude of sound pressure p or pressure amplitude, an amplitude of sound particle velocity v, or particle velocity amplitude, an amplitude of pressure gradient Δ p, or pressure gradient amplitude. If the "sound" inceases, the "amplitude" also increases.
Amplitude is the maximum displacement of an oscillation from it's rest position.

Displacement is shift from home(original) position. Deflection is same as Displacement.
