Wave - Vibrations/oscillations that transfers energy from one place to another without transferring matter., Transverse Wave - Oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of wave travel (e.g. light, water waves)., Longitudinal Wave - Oscillations are parallel to the direction of wave travel (e.g. sound waves)., Amplitude - The maximum displacement from the rest position., Wavelength (λ) - The distance between two corresponding points on adjacent waves, such as crest to crest., Compression - The area in a longitudinal wave where particles are close together., Rarefaction - The area in a longitudinal wave where particles are spread apart., Frequency (f) - The number of waves passing a point per second. Measured in hertz (Hz)., Period (T) - The time taken for one wave to pass a point.,
