A wave is a disturbance that propagates through space and time, usually with transference of energy
The wavelength of a wave with low speed but high frequency would be short.
The property of frequency cannot describe a single wave pulse, as frequency refers to the number of wave cycles passing a given point per unit of time. Since a single wave pulse consists of just one wave cycle, it does not have a frequency in the same way a continuous wave would.
The amplitude of a wave is the maximum displacement of a particle in the medium from the equilibrium position to either the crest or trough of the wave. It is a measure of the wave's strength or intensity.
Refraction and diffraction are two words that describe the bending of a wave. Refraction occurs when a wave changes direction as it passes from one medium to another, while diffraction is the bending of a wave around obstacles or through openings.
microwaves :)
A movement of water cause by currents and wind.

describe the wave pulse that travels down the slinky?

The speed the wave is traveling through space

Wave is just a disturbance in a regular/periodic/organized way.
There are different kinds of wave, such as sound waves, electromagnetic waves, water waves etc. So the first property I would describe as the wave medium. Then you would have the additional properties of amplitude and frequency.
For general waves...probably d'Alembert, who solved the one-dimensional wave equation. In quantum it would have to be Schrodinger.
