It depends, if you mean light or sound waves, for example, there are a variety of factors to be measured:

The length of a wave from peak to peak is represented with lambda.

You can also measure velocity of a wave (how fast and in what direction it is moving).

Frequency of light effects the color of the light, and frequency of sound effects its pitch.
