This document discusses different types of waves and their properties. It defines transverse waves as having oscillation perpendicular to the propagation direction, and longitudinal waves as having oscillation parallel to propagation. Key wave properties discussed include amplitude, wavelength, frequency, velocity, and their relationships. Graphs of displacement over time and distance are compared. The traveling wave equation is presented relating displacement to position, time, wavelength, frequency, and phase. Conceptual questions about sound wave propagation and the effects of shaking a spring are also addressed.
