A shockwave is an example of a deflection wave because it diverts (a twist when viewed from a position perpendicular to the plane of the input and output flows) a normal flow of a fluid around an obstacle or moving object that has breached a transitional speed barrier (eg. speed of sound).
The first negative deflection after a P wave in a normal cardiac cycle is the Q wave, which is part of the QRS complex. The Q wave represents the initial depolarization of the interventricular septum and is typically a small downward deflection. It is followed by the R wave (upward deflection) and then the S wave (downward deflection), completing the QRS complex that corresponds to ventricular depolarization.

As we mentioned earlier, a CRT can be used to graphically and visually plot an electronic signal,such as a sine wave. This is done by using a second set of deflection plates called VERTICAL-DEFLECTION PLATES
QRS in the context of cardiovascular health has reference to the electrical pattern of the heart. This is readily seen on an ECG (electrocardiogram). The Q wave is the first downward deflection after a P wave, the R wave is the first upward deflection following a P wave, and the S wave is the downward deflection following the R wave. Taken together the QRS complex represents the electrical activity of the heart during systole: the phase of the heart during which ventricular emptying occurs.

the T wave, which indicates ventricular repolarization
Q, R, and S waves are components of the QRS complex in an electrocardiogram (ECG), which represents the electrical activity of the heart during ventricular depolarization. The Q wave is a small negative deflection, the R wave is a large positive deflection, and the S wave is a negative deflection that follows the R wave. Together, these waves indicate the heart's response to electrical signals and are crucial for diagnosing various cardiac conditions. The QRS complex typically lasts between 0.06 to 0.10 seconds in a healthy individual.
The T wave is positive in an ECG due to the direction and charge. This positive deflection occurs after each QRS complex.
The deflection waves in an ECG tracing include the P wave (atrial depolarization), QRS complex (ventricular depolarization), and T wave (ventricular repolarization). Each of these waves represents different electrical activity of the heart during a cardiac cycle.
The wavelength is the distance the wave travels before repeating in meters. The amplitude of the wave is the deflection from peak to trough in units of the wave value, e.g electric field or velocity.
