Wave-form.
As simple as that, but then it has two primary modes of oscillation: compression or longitudinal, and shear or transverse.
Further, it has its own dimensions: amplitude & wavelength in metres (or divisions thereof) and speed (in metres/second), from which frequency and other values appear.

What term is used to describe the fact that electromagnetic radiation can be thought of as either a continuous wave or as a stream of individual packets of energy?
wave-particle duality
What is the term for the height of a wave?
Hi The term used to refer the height of a wave is "significant wave height".
What does a wave do?
It moves energy through space.
What are ways to describe a wave?
Waves can be described by:frequency/periodspeedintensitywavelengthamplitudepressureshapedecibelsHertzphonssonesmelsIf you are looking for adjectives that can be used to illustrate or depict a wave, I suggest you ask another question with the type of wave you're looking to describe (soundwave, ocean wave, Miss America's wave, wave of emotion, waves in my hair, a sway, radio wave, light wave, electromagnetic wave, etc.)
What three quantities are used to describe a wave?
Amplitude, speed, and wavelength or frequency. (Wavelength and frequency are related by the wave's speed.)

What is the right way to describe the structure of a wave?
The lowest point of a wave is called the trough, the peak of a wave is called the crest, and the length from the trough to the crest is called the wave height.-Superchick606
What type of wave indicates a secondary wave?
The term used in seismology is the S-wave.
What is means by propagation constant definition?
It's a scientific term (mathematical) used to describe wave propagation. It is equal to 2π (2xPi) divided by the wavelength
What does a wave do?
It moves energy through space.
What is a peeling wave?
Usally used to describe a nicely breaking wave, with it peeling down the line instead of dumping.
WHAT IS narrow banding?
Narrow-Band (also referred to as short-wave) is a term used to describe the amplitude of a radio device. Narrow-band devices are limited to an average of 400m.

Is a transverse wave longitudinal?
No. Those two different adjectives are used to describe two different mechanisms of wave motion.

What is narrow-band signal?
Narrow-Band (also referred to as short-wave) is a term used to describe the amplitude of a radio device. Narrow-band devices are limited to an average of 400m.
