I'm really not sure exactly what you are asking here, but I'll answer what I think you're asking....

Wavelength: The distance between two adjacent corrosponding points on the wave train (eg - from one crest to the next crest)...

Wave height: The distance between the crest and trough of the wave.

Frequency: How many waves are made per time interval (waves per second for example).

Period: The amount of time it takes to complete one cycle of oscillation.
