The lowest point on a wave

The height of a transverse wave, or the difference in pressure between the compression and rest in a longitudinal wave

How much atoms are being pushed together

When a wave goes between to types of matter, and the wave goes into the second matter and leaves the energy as heat. Think sun tanning, sound proofing...

Energy in the form of the random movement of atoms, also know as heat.

When a wave goes between to types of matter, and the wave is able to pass through the second type. Think fiber optics, stethoscopes, cars in a tunnel...

Transvers waves that are caused by energy switching back and forth between electricity and magnetism.
