What is a longitudinal wave?

A wave in which the vibration of the medium is parallel to the direction the wave travels.

What is a transverse wave?

A wave in which the particles of the medium move perpendicularly, at right angles, to the direction the wave is traveling.

What is wave crest?

The highest point of a transverse wave.
