A jack hammer creates longitudinal waves, which are mechanical waves that travel through a medium by compressing and expanding the material in the same direction as the wave's motion.
When you clap your hands together, you create a compression wave, also known as a sound wave. This wave is produced by the vibrations of your hands colliding and propagates through the air as a pressure disturbance that we perceive as sound.
You can hit a metal rod with a mallet or hammer to create a disturbance that propagates through the rod as a transverse wave. The force of the impact causes particles in the rod to move perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation, creating crests and troughs along the rod.
Transverse wave. In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation.
To create the flattest wave, you would want to increase the wave height, decrease the wave length, and shorten the wave period. By making the wave taller, shorter, and more frequent, you reduce the steepness and make it flatter.
A surge in a crowd is an example of a transverse wave, where the motion of the individuals is perpendicular to the direction of the wave itself.
A radio wave is a kind of electromagnetic wave.
Wavelengths
Speed is not a wave.
Electromagnetic wave.
A standing wave?
YES
The wave is called an electromagnetic wave.

a wave that the particles of the medium mover perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling
I would rather say that light IS a wave, not that it HAS a wave. It is a type of electromagnetic wave.
