mechanical waves

A wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium.

•  mechanical wave 
• medium
• surface wave 

the top of something, especially a mountain or hill.

• rarefaction 
• crest 
• compression 

A wave vibrating at right angles to the direction of its propagation.

• ssurface wave 
• medium 
• transverse wave 

diminution in the density of something, especially air or a gas.

• rarefaction
• longitude wave 
• mechanical wave 

A periodic disturbance in a solid, liquid, or gas as energy is transmitted through a medium
