Define transverse wave

• the length of ONE wave cycle

• the maximum height of a wave.

• a disturbance that repeats in space and time AND that transmits energy from one place to another with no transfer of matter.

• a type of wave that travels perpendicular to the particle motion.

What is the the top of the wave called

• trough

• crest

• amplitude

• wavelength
