characteristics
longitudinal
A longitudinal wave is a wave in which the particle movement is parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. This means that the particles move left and right which in turn makes the other particles start to oscillate. ... Longitudinal waves are also called pressure waves, and sound waves are the most common kinds.
transverse
A transverse wave is a moving wave that is made up of oscillations happening perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer.
standing waves
Standing wave, also called stationary wave, combination of two waves moving in opposite directions, each having the same amplitude and frequency. The phenomenon is the result of interference—that is, when waves are superimposed, their energies are either added together or cancelled out.
wavelength
Wavelength. Wavelength is the distance between two identical adjacent points in a wave. It is typically measured between two easily identifiable points, such as two adjacent crests or troughs in a waveform
amplitud
the extent or range of a quality, property, process, or phenomenon
