This document discusses key properties of waves including crest and trough, wavelength, amplitude, period and frequency. Crest and trough refer to the highest and lowest points of a wave, wavelength is the distance between two identical points on a wave, amplitude is the maximum height of a wave from its equilibrium position, period is the time it takes for one full wave cycle to occur, and frequency is the number of wave cycles that occur per unit of time.
