The maximum distance is called its peak.

The distance between the wave's positive and negative peaks is its amplitude.

The maximum distance a wave vibrates from its rest position is called the amplitude. It represents the peak displacement of particles in the medium from their equilibrium position as the wave passes through. The larger the amplitude, the greater the energy carried by the wave.
