A uniformly advancing disturbance in which the parts undergo a double oscillation, as a progressing disturbance on the surface of a liquid or the rhythmic variation occurring in the transmission of electromagnetic energy.

• brain w's — changes in electric potential of different areas of the brain, as recorded by electroencephalography.
• electromagnetic w's — the entire series of ethereal waves which are similar in character, and which move with the velocity of light, but which vary enormously in wavelength. The unbroken series is known from the hertzian waves used in radio transmission, which may be miles in length (one mile equals 1.6 × 10⁵ cm), through heat and light, the ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma rays of radium to the cosmic rays, the wavelength of which may be as short as 40 femtometers (4 × 10⁻¹⁴ nm).
• w. F — 1. a muscle action potential seen on electromyographs; attributed to antidromically conducted motor nerve action potentials.
— 2. bidirectional, saw-toothed waves on an electrocardiographic tracing characteristic of atrial flutter.
• light w's — the electromagnetic waves that produce sensations on the retina. See also vision.
• w. motion — swirling motion in a drop of dense semen when viewed microscopically (100 × magnification). The intensity and rapidity of the swirling is a reflection of the concentration of the spermatozoa and their level of motility. Called also mass activity.
• P w. — a deflection in the normal electrocardiogram produced by the wave of excitation passing over the atria.
• positive sharp w. — an electromyographic tracing associated with denervation and some types of primary muscle disease.
• pulse w. — the elevation of the pulse felt by the finger or shown graphically in a recording of pulse pressure.
• Q w. — in the QRS complex, the initial electrocardiographic downward (negative) deflection, related to the initial phase of depolarization.
• R w. — the initial upward deflection of the QRS complex, following the Q wave in the normal electrocardiogram.
• S w. — a downward deflection of the QRS complex following the R wave in the normal electrocardiogram.
• T w. — the second major deflection of the normal electrocardiogram, reflecting the potential variations occurring with repolarization of the ventricles.
• T w. abnormalities — a common finding in horses whose racing performance worsens. The cause is not identified but may be related to overtraining and the racing of unfit horses. Most animals recover spontaneously with rest. The validity of these abnormalities is now widely doubted.
