Wave Properties Diagram - Amplitude, Frequency, Crest, Trough & Longitudinal Motion #3276658 (License: Personal Use)

The image presents multiple labeled illustrations of wave behavior: a transverse wave with amplitude marked, comparative low- and high-frequency sine waves, a single wave annotated with crest and trough, and a longitudinal wave depicting compressions (high density) and rarefactions (low density) alongside particle oscillation direction. Additional microscopic views show particle distribution corresponding to wave phases.

This image is commonly used in high school or introductory college physics resources to teach wave mechanics. It supports user intent for visual learning, lesson preparation, or quick reference on wave fundamentals.
