A wave is a repeating oscillation of particles or a field, which transfers energy or information.
The substance that a wave passes through is called the .
The of a wave is how many oscillations occur in a given time. The time taken for a single oscillation to occur is called the of the wave.
The of a wave is the maximum distance from an equilibrium position that the particles (or field) reach.
A single point on a wave, and how far that point is through a single oscillation, can be described in terms of .
A wave in which the direction of oscillation is the same as the direction of propagation of energy due to the wave is called , and examples include sound waves and seismic P-waves.
A wave in which the direction of oscillation is at right angles to the direction of energy propagation is called , and examples include electromagnetic waves and water surface waves. Electromagnetic waves always travel with the same in a particular medium.
Waves which store energy rather than propagate it through space are said to be waves. On these waves, points with zero amplitude are called , while points with maximum amplitude are called . These waves are formed by a single wave moving backwards and forwards across a space and undergoing with itself.
The number of half-wavelengths on a wave is the wave's .
