When I create an element of a-animation,I want to know the exact time when the animation finished.I know the "dur" or "begin" can calculate the approximate time,but is there any callback function when I use the a-animation element!

You can listen to the animationend
event on the a-animation element. Like so:
sphereAnimation.addEventListener('animationend', function () {
sphere.setAttribute('color', '#88ff99');
});
<script src="https://aframe.io/releases/0.8.0/aframe.min.js"></script>
<a-scene>
<a-plane color="#EFED5E" rotation="45 0 0" scale="3 3 3" position="0 0 -3"></a-plane>
<a-sphere id="sphere" color="#EF2D5E" position="0 0 -3">
<a-animation
id="sphereAnimation"
attribute="position"
to="0 2 -3"
direction="alternate"
repeat="3"
easing="ease-in-out">
</a-animation>
</a-sphere>
</a-scene>

is not working anymore in the newest versions of A-FRAME. See other answer that uses animationcomplete event. – Rodrigo De Almeida Siqueira Mar 15 '22 at 15:00

The 'a-animation' tag is depricated in favour of animation="". You need to attach the event handler for the animationcomplete event to the object which is being animated. Here's what worked for me.
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://aframe.io/releases/1.2.0/aframe.min.js"></script>
<script>
function sphereEventListener(){
aSphere.addEventListener('animationcomplete', function(){
console.log("Do something interesting here...");
});
};
</script>
</head>
<body onload="sphereEventListener()">
<a-scene>
<a-sphere
animation="dur: 1000; property: position; to: 5 0 -10"
id="aSphere"
position="-5 0 -10"
>
</a-sphere>
<a-sky color="black"></a-sky>
</a-scene>
</body>
