Step-by-step explanation:

There are many properties that scientists use to describe waves. They include amplitude, frequency, period, wavelength, speed, and phase. Each of these properties is described in more detail below. When drawing a wave or looking at a wave on a graph, we draw the wave as a snapshot in time.
