longitudinal and transverse waves

• what is a wave

  transfer of energy from one place to another without transferring matter
• what is the wavelength of a wave

  distance of an entire oscillation of the wave
• what is the amplitude

  maximum displacement from the equilibrium position
• what is the time period

  the time it takes for an entire osiclation for a wave
• wavelength

  
• amplitude

  
• time period

  
• what is a transverse wave

  where osilcations are perpendicular to the directions of energy transfer
• what are some examples of tranverse waves
