This depends upon the height of the person initiating the wave. Generally friendly waves are given at shoulder height or slightly abaove or below. Since the average adult population is between 5' and 6' 4", shoulder height is about one foot less. The period of the wave is usually 0.25 to 0.5 second depending upon the amount of caffinated beverage the individual has ingested. The amplitude of the wave is also dependent upon the individual and relates to the energy level of the individual, energy levels are often correlated with the longevity of the initiator. It is interesting to note that often times individuals will opt out of the the freindly wave with an audio wave, which to the receiver is percieved as "hello".

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 do you use wave height in a sentence?
That wave height is too much for me!
Why does the amplitude depend on the height of a wave?
This is just the definition of "amplitude". The amplitude of a wave is the height of the wave. "Amplitude" is a fancier name for "height" when we speak about waves.
The height of a wave above the median line?
The distance between the line of origin and the crest/trough of a wave is called the amplitude of the wave.
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
What is the wave property that is relate to the height of the wave?
amplitude
What is the relationship between the amplitude and the height of the wave?
amplitude is equal to one half of the wave height the greater the energy of the wave the greater its amplitude
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.
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
Height of a wave?
light
