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.
Amplitude is the speed of the wave?
No. Aplitude is the height of the wave. Frequency and wavelength can be used to calculate the speed of the wave by multiplying them together (if the units are appropriate).
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.

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

What is a peeling wave?
Usally used to describe a nicely breaking wave, with it peeling down the line instead of dumping.

What is a word beginning with S used to describe height?
scale
What are ways to describe a wave?
Waves can be described by:frequency/periodspeedintensitywavelengthamplitudepressureshapedecibelsHertzphonssonesmelsIf you are looking for adjectives that can be used to illustrate or depict a wave, I suggest you ask another question with the type of wave you're looking to describe (soundwave, ocean wave, Miss America's wave, wave of emotion, waves in my hair, a sway, radio wave, light wave, electromagnetic wave, etc.)
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.
Is a transverse wave longitudinal?
No. Those two different adjectives are used to describe two different mechanisms of wave motion.
What three quantities are used to describe a wave?
Amplitude, speed, and wavelength or frequency. (Wavelength and frequency are related by the wave's speed.)
