in general, a harmonically oscillating, one dimensional wave is described by the following function: f(x,t)=Acos(2phi*t/T -2phi*x/ג) where A is the amplitudes (or wave height), T is the wave's period time and ג is the wave length. these are the three basic characteristics of a wave. other characteristics can be calculated from these: the frequency f=1/T , and the speed of the wave v=גf.
