text: Trough: the lowest point of the wave Compressional (longitudinal) waves: Waves in which the medium moves back and forth in the same direction as the wave.
text: Transverse waves are the waves were the movement of the medium, in this case water is the medium, is at right angle with the movement of the waves.
text: Longitudinal sound waves are waves of alternating pressure deviations from the equilibrium pressure, causing local regions of compression and rarefaction, while transverse waves (in solids) are waves of alternating shear stress at right angle to the direction of propagation.
text: Within these two large categories, there are four principle types of waves: Transverse waves are waves in which the particles vibrate at right angles to the direction of the wave's velocity or propagation.
text: Longitudinal waves are waves in which the particles vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave's velocity, or direction of propagation.
