Describing Waves
- A wave is a periodic disturbance of a medium.
- All waves transfer energy from one place to another, without transferring any matter.
- The medium is the material that is disturbed as the wave passes through it.
- The direction of wave motion is defined as the direction energy is transferred.
Two Types of Waves
- Transverse waves: Particles of the medium oscillate about fixed positions at right angles to the direction of wave travel.
- Longitudinal waves: The particles of the medium oscillate about fixed positions along the same line as the wave energy travels.

Frequency
Frequency is the number of waves per second produced by the source that pass through a given point in the medium. Measured in waves per second or Hertz, Hz.

Wavelength ($\lambda$)
Wavelength ($\lambda$) – distance between the same point on two adjacent disturbances. Measured in metres.

Amplitude
Amplitude – distance between a crest or trough and the undisturbed position.

Speed = distance travelled by a wave crest or compression in one second.
