6. properties
6.1. wavelength
6.1.1. defenition
6.1.1.1. is the spatial period of the wave – the distance over which the wave's shape repeats
6.1.1.2. it is determined by considering the distance between consecutive corresponding points of the same phase
6.2. amplitude
6.2.1. Peak-to-peak amplitude
6.2.1.1. is the change between peak (highest amplitude value) and trough (lowest amplitude value, which can be negative)
6.2.2. Semi-amplitude
6.2.2.1. semi-amplitude means half the peak-to-peak amplitude
