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.

| This is a high amplitude wave shown by the large displacement between the peak (or trough) of the wave and the equilibrium position. | This is a low amplitude wave shown by the small displacement between the peak (or trough) of the wave and the equilibrium position. |
