Definitions

Wavelength-the distance, measured in the direction of propagation of a wave, between two successive points in the wave that are characterized by the same phase of oscillation.

Wave frequency-frequency refers to how many waves are made per time interval (this is usually described as how many waves are made per second or as cycles per second).

Wave height-the vertical distance between the crest and the preceding through of a wave.
