2. Label 2 measures the distance between two consecutive identical points (crests) of the wave, which is the wavelength.
3. Label 3 measures the vertical distance from the wave's midline to its crest, which is the amplitude.
4. Label 4 points to the lowest point of the wave, which is a trough.
5. Label 5 points to the dashed central line of the wave, which is the midline.
