Question

between the middle of the wave and the point farthest from the center. this point is usually shown as the highest point on the wave, or the waves crest. we perceive light waves with greater amplitude as being brighter. which term matches the picture? wavelength amplitude

Explanation:

Amplitude is the distance between the middle of the wave and the point farthest from the center. The text also mentions that we perceive light waves with greater amplitude as being brighter. The red line in the wave diagram represents this distance. Wavelength, on the other hand, is the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs of a wave, which is not what the red line in the diagram shows.

Answer:

amplitude
