The three terms used when describing a wave are: wavelength (the length of one wave), amplitude (the height of a wave from equilibrium position to peak) and frequency, (the number of waves that pass a point in one second).

How can we describe waves in science?
A wave is a vibration or disturbance transmitted through a material (a medium) or through space. Waves transfer energy and information from one place to another, but they do not transfer material. A transverse wave has vibrations at right angles (perpendicular) to the direction of travel.
