Wave- a disturbance that transfers energy from place to place.

Caption: Picture of a sound wave.

Amplitude-  The maximum distance the particles of a medium move away from their rest positions as a wave passes through the medium.

Wavelength-  The distance between the crest of one wave and the crest of the next.

Caption: In this picture, the waves are moving away from each other.

Frequency-  The number of complete waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time.

Crest- The highest part of a transverse wave.

Trough-  The lowest part of a transverse wave.
