Wave characteristics review (article) | Khan Academy
WEBDistance between adjacent maxima or minima of a wave. Periodic wave: Wave that repeats over time and space. Also called a continuous wave. Crest: Highest point on a transverse wave. Also called the peak. Trough: Lowest point on a transverse wave. Expansion: A point of maximum spacing between particles of a medium for longitudinal waves. Compression

WEBR-wave peak time. R-wave peak time (Figure 9) is the interval from the beginning of the QRS-complex to the apex of the R-wave. This interval reflects the time elapsed for the depolarization to spread from the endocardium to the epicardium. R-wave peak time is prolonged in hypertrophy and conduction disturbances.

WEBThe amplitude of a wave refers to the maximum amount of displacement of a particle on the medium from its rest position. In a sense, the amplitude is the distance from rest to crest. Similarly, the amplitude can be measured from the rest position to the trough position.

WEBMarch 5, 2020 at 6:40 am. Waves appear in many different forms. Seismic waves shake the ground during earthquakes. Light waves travel across the universe, allowing us to see distant stars. And every sound we hear is a wave. So what do all these different waves have in common? A wave is a disturbance that moves energy from one place to another.

WEBApr 14, 2023 · When the depth of the water is one-half of the wave's length, drag (friction) from the bottom will cause the waves to slow down, grow taller, and become shaped like peaks. These wave peaks will continue to grow until they become unstable and, moving faster than the water below, break forward.
