    This document is an introduction to waves chapter from a 10th grade physics textbook. It defines key terms related to waves like propagation, crest, trough, amplitude, wavelength, period, frequency, wavefront, and wave speed. It also defines longitudinal and transverse waves as well as compression and rarefaction. The document includes sample problems calculating wavelength from frequency, speed from wavelength and frequency, frequency from wavelength given the speed of propagation, and period from the calculated frequency.
