Answer:

Amplitude—distance between the resting position and the maximum displacement of the wave

Frequency—number of waves passing by a specific point per second

Period—time it takes for one wave cycle to complete

wavelength λ - the distance between adjacent identical parts of a wave, parallel to the direction of propagation.

Tension - described as the pulling force transmitted axially by the means of a string, a cable, chain, or similar one-dimensional continuous object, or by each end of a rod, truss member, or similar three-dimensional object
