Amplitude is defined as the vertical distance from the midline of a wave to the top of the peak or the bottom of the trough. Light refers to electromagnetic radiation, magnitude refers to size or extent, wavelength refers to the distance between two corresponding points on a wave, and frequency refers to the number of complete wavelengths that pass a point in one second.
