How to make a wavy face like the one attached? Would someone be kind enough to explain this one?

Looks like you'll have to learn how to work with surfaces. The basics of working with surfaces are easy to learn but to achieve something like the image you show, it will take time for you to learn how to.
To get you started, here is what I would do:
1) Start with what is below the curve pointed with the blue arrow, let's call this curve the main curve.
2) Create the main curve.
3) Create the 2 surfaces indicated with the orange arrows (the surface on the right is hidden on your image). These 2 surfaces are touching the ends of the main curve. Let's call them the bottom and the side surfaces.
4) Create the 2 blues curves in the "middle" since they look like planar. These curves are touching the bottom and side surfaces.
5) Create the surface(s) between the main curve and the bottom and side surfaces. You might need more than one step to create them depending on the parameters you'll use (parameters like tangency, curvature, etc).
Hope this help you getting started.

I saw this problem and it's been rattling around in my head. I was imagining an approach very much like this, so now I don't have to do it too.
