The arrow rest is placed approx 6mm up away from the hand; it just gives clearance so that, when shot, the arrow does not come in contact with the hand (this is in reference to using a Traditional longbow); modern bows (meaning modern recurves) normally have a preset point. Exactly where the shelf/rest is placed is not really important, but where the "Nocking Point" on the bowstring is set in relationship to that is of extreme importance: 90 degrees across and then 6mm up for the bottom nocking point. This offset gives good arrow flight and helps with the "Archers Paradox" problem.

The 6mm up on the string is a starting point, and during bow tuning this may be raised or lowered by a few a millimetres depending on type of bow and the archer's personal grip on the string (3-finger Mediterranean release, 2-finger modified Mediterranean, "Ishi"-style, Asian thumb-ring, etc).

One of the things to consider in placing an arrow rest on any bow, no matter where it is placed, is that it must be positioned so that the tip of the arrow does not fall off the rest when the bowstring is drawn back. It also must be positioned so that a broadhead point, when installed on the arrow, does not contact it at all; the shaft of the arrow should be the only part of the arrow actually contacting the rest. See "The Archer's Reference" (linked below, "Related Links"), page 26, Section 2.4 "Rests".

Where is rest position in a wave?

The rest position in a wave is the position where the particles of the medium are when they are not vibrating. It is the equilibrium position that the particles return to when there is no disturbance. In a transverse wave, the rest position is the position of the particles when the wave is not passing through.
