I took a look at it.  Part of the problem is SICP is incomplete, and as far as I could see
the only actual library among your links is in Racket - which is not Scheme, so it would have
to be converted.  So a lot of pieces would have to have brought together.

I did write:

(define (segments->painter segment-list)
   (lambda (frame)
     (draw
      @(map
        (lambda (segment)
          (line
           ((frame-coord-map frame) (start-segment segment))
           ((frame-coord-map frame) (end-segment segment))))
        segment-list))))

but actually testing it still needs a lot more.
A definition of 'wave' as a segment-list would be a start.

(draw @lst) is essentially the same as (apply draw lst).

Note the above segments->painter, when combined when a frame,
returns a Picture value.  It doesn't actually display anything in itself.
It gets displayed in a DomTerm-based or Swing-based REPL, or you can use:
