Transverse Wave
Wave motion perpendicular to medium displacement.
Crest
Highest point of a transverse wave.
Trough
Lowest point of a transverse wave.
Equilibrium Line
Rest position of a wave, no displacement.
Amplitude
Height of crest or depth of trough.
Frequency
Number of cycles per second, measured in Hz.
Period
Time taken for one complete cycle.
Standing Wave
Wave pattern formed by interference of waves.
Oscillation
Repeated back-and-forth movement around a position.
Pendulum
Weight suspended from a pivot that swings.
Cycles
