amplitude - The maximum displacement or distance a wave moves from its resting position, wave length - The distance between two consecutive identical points on a wave, crest - The highest point of a wave, representing the maximum displacement from the wave's resting position, trough - The lowest point of a wave, representing the maximum negative displacement from the wave's rest position, Wave frequency - The number of waves that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time, transverse wave - A wave in which the oscillations of the medium are perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling, longitudinal wave - A wave in which the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave's energy propagation, electromagnetic wave - Waves that can travel through a vacuum , mechanical wave - Waves that need a medium to travel and can not travel through vacuum, time period - The time taken for one complete cycle of vibration to pass a given point,
