The details depend on what type of wave you are talking about, and what exactly you want to measure about the wave.
You measure the displacement in the waves high.
Speed.
Radio wave is not a longitudinal wave it is a transverse wave
the amplitude. It is the displacement at a peak.

Sound waves are longitudinal.
Radio wave is not a longitudinal wave it is a transverse wave
Longitudinal Wave

A sound wave is indeed a longitudinal wave as opposed to a transverse wave
A sound wave is an example of a longitudinal wave. A device used to measure the length and pitch of the sound wave is call a oscilloscope.
A longitudinal wave is a wave of which the disturbance direction is the same direction of the direction of the wave. Waves done in a spring and sound waves are an example. A longitudinal wave: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Sound, at least in gases like air, can only propagate as a longitudinal wave.
A wave must be transverse or longitudinal or both.
