by definition a wave is a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another. a force transfers energy and creates a disturbance therefor creating a wave

The Japanese wave symbolizes respect for the forces of nature. Based on the principles of Shintoism, they believe in the power of nature over man.
History is fuzzy about that but according to answers.com, the first recorded wave was at a NHL game in 1980.
Forces are a natural phenomena, no one invented them! Isaac Newton was one of the first to describe them using physics and mathematics
June 25th, 1950 when North Korean forces attacked South Korea
Longitudinal Wave
describe the wave pulse that travels down the slinky?
The type of wave in which the particles in the medium experience forces parallel to the wave's direction is the longitudinal wave. It is a mechanical wave that travels through a series of compressions and rarefactions.

A tide wave is generated by the gravitational forces of the moon and sun on the Earth's oceans. These forces create bulges in the ocean's surface, resulting in the rise and fall of water levels that we observe as tides. The rotation of the Earth and the topography of the ocean floor also influence the propagation of tide waves.
The speed the wave is traveling through space

Wave is just a disturbance in a regular/periodic/organized way.
A wave is a disturbance that propagates through space and time, usually with transference of energy
1) Crest of one wave meets the crest of other wave OR Trough of one wave meets the trough of other wave.
Refraction and diffraction are two words that describe the bending of a wave. Refraction occurs when a wave changes direction as it passes from one medium to another, while diffraction is the bending of a wave around obstacles or through openings.
Longitidinal waves travel in the form of compressions and rarefractions. the distance beteween 2 consecutive compressions or rarefractions gives the wavelength of the longitudinal wave. transverse wave travels in the form of a sinousidal wave, it has crests and troughs. the distance between 2 consecutive crests and troughs give the wavelength of a longitudinal wave.
