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 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
If a wave has a low frequency how do you describe the wave length?
The frequency of a wave is not directly related to the wave length. A low frequency wave or a high frequency wave may be either long-wave or short-wave.
What are the three components of electromagnetic waves that are used to describe them?
from high frequency to low you have: gamma, x-rays, ultraviolet, visible light, infrared, microwaves, radio waves
What is a wave describe its types and define them?
balls THATS EASY TIDAL TSUNAMI AND REDTR WAVE
What is a peeling wave?
Usally used to describe a nicely breaking wave, with it peeling down the line instead of dumping.

Is a transverse wave longitudinal?
No. Those two different adjectives are used to describe two different mechanisms of wave motion.
What unit is used to describe the frequencey of a wave?
The hertz (Hz) is commonly used. Its dimensions are 1/second.
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
Describe the wave pulse that travels down the slinky?
describe the wave pulse that travels down the slinky?
What does a velocity of a wave describe?
The speed the wave is traveling through space
Describe a compressional wave?
k
How do you describe a wave?
Wave is just a disturbance in a regular/periodic/organized way.
If a wave has a low frequency how do you describe the wave length?
The frequency of a wave is not directly related to the wave length. A low frequency wave or a high frequency wave may be either long-wave or short-wave.
What are three types of progressive wave?
Longitudinal Wave,Transverse Wave,Orbital Wave

from high frequency to low you have: gamma, x-rays, ultraviolet, visible light, infrared, microwaves, radio waves
