Amplitude = (distance from peak to middle) The maximum displacement of a point on the wave from it's undisturbed position.
Wavelength = The distance between the same point on two adjacent waves
Frequency = Number of complete waves passing a point per second, measured in hertz (Hz)
Period = 1 / frequency
