#undulation__wave (physics) a progressive disturbance propagated without displacement of the medium itself
supertype: #periodic_event__recurrent_event__recurrentevent an event that recurs at intervals
part: #wave_front
subtype: #gravity_wave__gravitywave__gravitation_wave__gravitationwave (physics) a wave that is hypothesized to propagate gravity and to travel at the speed of light
subtype: #sine_wave a wave whose waveform resembles a sine curve
subtype: #vibration__oscillation (physics) a regular variation in value about a mean
subtype: #ripple (electronics) an oscillation of small amplitude imposed on top of a steady value
subtype: #transient (physics) a short-lived oscillation in a system caused by a sudden change of voltage or current or load
subtype: #beat.vibration a single pulsation of an oscillation produced by adding two waves of different frequencies; has a frequency equal to the difference between the two oscillations
subtype: #resonance.vibration a vibration of large amplitude produced by a relatively small vibration near the same frequency of vibration as the natural frequency of the resonating system
subtype: #sympathetic_vibration__sympatheticvibration (physics) vibration produced by resonance
subtype: #fluctuation a wave motion; "the fluctuations of the sea"
subtype: #seiche a wave on the surface of a lake or landlocked bay; caused by atmospheric or seismic disturbances
subtype: #standing_wave__stationary_wave a wave (as a sound wave in a chamber or an electromagnetic wave in a transmission line) in which the ratio of its instantaneous amplitude at one point to that at any other point does not vary with time
subtype: #sound_wave__soundwave__acoustic_wave (acoustics) a wave that transmits sound
subtype: #air_wave__airwave a sound wave that is transmitted via air
subtype: #shock_wave__shockwave a region of high pressure travelling through a gas at a high velocity
subtype: #sonic_boom__sonicboom an explosive sound caused by the shock wave of an airplane traveling faster than the speed of sound; "a sonic boom follows an aircraft as a wake follows a ship"
subtype: #waveform__wave_form__wave_shape the shape of a wave illustrated graphically by plotting the values of the period quantity against time
subtype: #pulsing__pulse__impulse (electronics) a sharp transient wave in the normal electrical state (or a series of such transients); "the pulsations seemed to be coming from a star"
subtype: #flapping__flap__flutter__fluttering the motion made by flapping up and down
