The vertical height of an ocean wave from a crest to a trough is 10 meters, the amplitude of the ocean wave is 5 meters.
The largest displacement or separation from the equilibrium position of a wave or **oscillation **is referred to as the amplitude in physics. It is a representation of the wave or oscillation's size or strength.
The **amplitude **of an ocean wave is defined as half of the vertical height from a crest to a trough . In this case, the vertical height is given as 10 meters.
Therefore, the amplitude of the ocean wave is half of the vertical height:
Amplitude = 10 meters / 2 = 5 meters.
Thus, the amplitude of the ocean wave is 5 meters.

The amplitude of the ocean wave is 5 meters since it represents half of the total height from crest to trough, which is given as 10 meters. Thus, using the formula A = H/2, we find that the amplitude, A, equals 5 meters. This indicates the maximum displacement of the wave from its equilibrium position.
