==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
The '''equilibrium position''' is the point on the wave of zero displacement.
===About the Equilibrium Position===
: The '''equilibrium position''' is in the middle of a wave (vertically).
: The '''equilibrium position''' is used to show the [[amplitude]] of a [[wave]] with the greater the [[amplitude]] the greater the displacement from the '''equilibrium position'''.
