Wave crests and energy move outward with the wave. However, the water itself does not move outward with the wave. It just oscillates about its original position. Define the terms wavelength, frequency, and amplitude. Wavelength is the distance between successive wavecrests.
Frequency is the number of wavecrests passing a point per time.
Amplitude is the height of the wave above the undisturbed level. Nothing can go faster than this limit - not even the Starship Enterprise. Describe the difference between a transverse wave and a longitudinal wave. Give examples of both types of wave. Direction of oscillation is perpendicular to direction of wave travel.
