| wave |
one of a series of ridges that moves across the surface of a liquid (especially across a large body of water) a movement like that of a sudden occurrence or increase in a specified phenomenon; "a wave of settlers"; "troops advancing in waves" (physics) a movement up and down or back and forth something that rises rapidly; "a wave of emotion swept over him"; "there was a sudden wave of buying before the market closed"; "a wave of conservatism in the country led by the hard right" the act of signaling by a movement of the hand beckon: signal with the hands or nod; "She waved to her friends"; "He waved his hand hospitably" brandish: move or swing back and forth; "She waved her gun" a hairdo that creates undulations in the hair an undulating curve roll: move in a wavy pattern or with a rising and falling motion; "The curtains undulated"; "the waves rolled towards the beach" curl: twist or roll into coils or ringlets; "curl my hair, please" a persistent and widespread unusual weather condition (especially of unusual temperatures); "a heat wave" a member of the women's reserve of the United States Navy; originally organized during World War II but now no longer a separate branch set waves in; "she asked the hairdresser to wave her hair"

| wave |
A wave is a disturbance that propagates, carrying energy. Apart from electromagnetic radiation, and probably gravitational radiation, which can travel through vacuum, waves exist in a medium (which on deformation is capable of producing elastic restoring forces) through which they travel and can transfer energy from one place to another without any of the particles of the medium being displaced permanently; i.e. there is no associated mass transport. ...

| wave length |
In simple terms, the horizontal distance between successive wave crests measured perpendicular to the crests. However, in a random sea, a variety of interpretations of this are possible. A commonly used definition is the so-called zero-upcrossing length, which is the horizontal distance between two successive upcrossings of the mean water level. See wave frequency, wave height, wave period.

| wavelength |
The distance between two corresponding points on any two consecutive waves. For visible light it is very small and is generally measured in nanometres.
