Wave Types

1. Transverse Waves. Particles in the disturbed medium move perpendicular to the wave of motion.
2. Longitudinal Waves. particles in the disturbed medium vibrate parallel to the wave of motion.

3. Crest, trough, amplitude, wavelength ... helpful link

4. Wave speed.

velocity = wavelength/period

remember: period = 1/frequency ... so velocity = (wavelength)(frequency)
