- 3WavelengthDistance from one crest of the wave to the next. Measured in metres.
- 4AmplitudeMaximum distance that the surface of the water is displaced from undisturbed level. Measured in metres.
- 5FrequencyNumber of waves sent out per second. Measured in Hertz, Hz. One Hertz is one completer wave/second
