Wave length, also known as cycle and period, is the difference in magnitude from one point on a wave to the corresponding point on an adjacent wave as measured along, and defined by, the x-axis of the graphed wave forms.
Wave height, also known as magnitude, is the distance above or below the x-axis as measured along, and defined by, the y-axis of the graphed wave forms.

Which relation is there between wavelength and height?
There is no relation between wave length and wave height. You can change the wave height independently from the wave length. Wave height tells you which amplitude the wave has. If you think of sound that means how loud it is. The wave length tells you the pitch or the frequency of this sound, that means high or low sound. Long wavelength means bass sound and short wavelength means treble sound.
The height length and period of a wave depend on what?
1. wind speed, 2. length of time the wind has blown, 3. fetch
What type of light has a longer wave length ultra violent or infrared?
Ultraviolet has the longer wave length Infrared has the lower wave length
What is the height of the crest or trough?
The height of a wave crest or depth of a trough is called the amplitude of the wave.
Which wave property is related to a wave's height?
amplitude

Explain the difference between a wave and a wavelength?
A wave is a normal wave and a wave length is the wave Height or distance
How is frequency of a wave different from amplitude of the wave?
The frequency is the occurrence along the length of a wave, the amplitude the the height of the occurrence
Which factor does not help determine the height length AND period of the wave?
temperature
Which factor does not help determine the height length and period of a wave?
temperature
How does an ocean wave change as it moves from deep water to shallow water?
Deep water waves are long in length but short in height. As the wave moves into shallower depths it becomes shorter in length and taller in height.
What is the right way to describe the structure of a wave?
The lowest point of a wave is called the trough, the peak of a wave is called the crest, and the length from the trough to the crest is called the wave height.-Superchick606
The height length and period of a wave depend on what?
1. wind speed, 2. length of time the wind has blown, 3. fetch
What is the term for the height of a wave?
Hi The term used to refer the height of a wave is "significant wave height".
What is the height of the wave known as?
The height of a wave is the amplitude.
How are amplitude and sound related?
amplitude and sound are related because sound comes in soundwaves, amplitude is the height of the wave while wavelength (spelling?) is the length of the wave
What is factors can affect the height of a wind formed wave?
the speed of the wind,the length of time that the wind blows, and the fetch
