Waves

A wave can be described as a disturbance that travels through a medium from one location to another location.

Mediums

A medium is a substance that makes possible the transfer of energy from one location to another, especially through waves.

Vibrations

Vibrations are oscillating motions around a fixed position.

Crest

The crest of a wave is the point on a wave with the maximum value or upward displacement within a cycle.

Mechanical Wave

A mechanical wave is a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium

Transverse Wave

A wave vibrating at right angles to the direction of its propagation.

Longitudinal Wave

Longitudinal waves are waves in which the displacement of the medium is in the same direction as, or the opposite direction to, the direction of propagation of the wave.

Surface Wave

In physics, a surface wave is a mechanical wave that propagates along the interface between differing media.

Amplitude

Amplitude, in physics, the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position.

Wavelength

In physics, the wavelength of a sinusoidal wave is the spatial period of the wave - the distance over which the wave's shape repeats.
