Make a graph above zero mark 5 points distanced 1cm each from other. mark below zero the same but with negative sign. Any wave always have a positive or a negative or together cycle. the individual is called "half cycle" and whole is called "full cycle".

Now, the contact of each wave's frequency above and below the zero; this distance is called as the length of the wave.

If, you are looking for how long will it travel then it depends on its wavelength. Also, a separate carrier signal is used to carry it long distance.

A wave is contain...wavelength and frequency.

Wave length:- Distance travelled by a wave in a cycle.

Frequency:- No. of cycle in per second.

Now, we have to calculate the length from wave length

So, as we know frequency= wavelength/seconds

so for length= frequency X Time in second can show wavelengh.

This perticular wavelength of light can use to drive distance from wavelength.

The height of a wave is the distance from the trough to the crest. The amplitude of a wave is always half of it's height.

The distance between the wave's crest (the top) and trough (the bottom).

I think you are trying to say "Transverse Electro Magnetic" wave, or TEM wave. It is expressed as volts per meter. It is measured with a calibrated antenna.
