Solution

To determine which letter indicates Wave Height, we need to understand the concept of wave height. Wave height is typically defined as the vertical distance from the crest (the highest point) of a wave to the trough (the lowest point) of a wave.

Analysis

  1. Identify Key Features of a Wave:

    • Crest: Top of the wave
    • Trough: Bottom of the wave
    • Wave Height: The distance between the crest and the trough
  2. Mapping to the Options: Without the visual figure, I will guide you on how to identify wave height:

    • Look for a marked point that is at the highest point of the wave (crest).
    • Look for a marked point at the lowest point (trough).
    • The wave height is represented by a vertical arrow or line connecting these two points.

Final Answer

Identify which letter corresponds to this vertical distance between the highest and lowest points on the wave. If you can visualize the wave, select the letter that represents this measurement, typically labeled as the distance between crest to trough.
