Waves transfer energy without transferring matter. Transverse waves: vibration perpendicular to direction of travel (e.g. light, water waves). Longitudinal waves: vibration parallel to direction of travel (e.g. sound). Key quantities: Amplitude (A), Wavelength (λ), Frequency (f), Period (T=1/f), Wave speed v = fλ. Sound requires a medium; speed in air ≈ 340 m/s. Ultrasound (>20 kHz) is used in medical imaging.
