• Amplitude: This refers to the height of the wave, measured from the middle (resting) position to the crest (highest point) or trough (lowest point). The bigger the amplitude, the more energy the wave carries.

• Wavelength: This is the distance between two identical points on a wave, typically measured between adjacent crests or troughs. It's like the "length" of one wave cycle.

• Frequency: This describes how often the wave repeats itself at a specific point. It's measured in Hertz (Hz), the number of cycles per second. So, a 10 Hz wave completes 10 cycles every second.

• Period: Closely related to frequency, the period is when one complete wave cycle takes to pass a fixed point. It's the inverse of frequency (period = 1/frequency).

• Speed:: This is how fast the wave travels through a medium (for mechanical waves) or space (for electromagnetic waves). It's calculated by dividing the wavelength by the period (speed = wavelength/period).

  
  

Remember, frequency and wavelength have an inverse relationship. This means that the wavelength gets shorter as the frequency increases (more waves passing a point each second).

These properties help us understand and compare different types of waves, like sound waves, light waves, and water waves. They also play a role in how waves interact with each other and their environment, such as reflecting, refracting, or diffracting.
