waves
A wave is a oscillation or vibration that transfers energy or information e.g.
light and sound waves(talking).A wave can also be a undulation on the
surface of water.Most people that matter gets transfer because the matter
moves around but it doesn't, only energy or information does.
There are 3 important features in a wave:
The amplitude, which is the distance between the middle to the top or the
bottom of a wave.
The frequency, which the number of waves that go past a particular point
per second.
The wavelength, which is the distance from one point of an wave to to
another point of an wave.
The top of the wave is called a peak or crest and the bottom of an wave is
called a trough.
Continuing waves
Transverse waves
Transverse waves can be used by using a slinky. You just hold one end of the slinky
and swing it on the ground. Transverse waves are caused by oscillation. The angle of
oscillation is always 90*.

Longitudinal waves
Longitudinal waves can be showed in a slinky by pulling one end of it and then letting
it go. light is also a longitudinal wave. In a longitudinal waves there is a compression
which is the part that is squashed together.
