by measuring the distance from crest to crest
wave height
The amplitude is the distance between the the zero position and the crest or the zero position and the trough so the vertical distance means double the amplitude.
It is called the wave height.
If you notice that the number of waves that go past increases you also find that the distance between each crest is shorter and shorter (narrower and narrower).
The wave's wavelength is the name is the distance between wave crest.

wavelength - distance between waves (eg crest to crest or trough to trough)
It is called the wave height.
by measuring the distance from crest to crest.
If it's crest to crest and trough to trough then it's the wavelength.
If you notice that the number of waves that go past increases you also find that the distance between each crest is shorter and shorter (narrower and narrower).
The crest?
the distance between the crests of two succesive waves is called the wavelength. It is directly related to the frequency of the wave
