3.To arrange into curves, curls, or undulations: wave one's hair.

noun
1.a. A ridge or swell moving through or along the surface of a large body of internal linkwater. b. A small ridge or swell moving across the internal linkinterface of two fluids and dependent on surface tension.
2.Often waves . The sea: vanished beneath the waves.
3.Something that suggests the form and motion of a wave in the sea, especially:. a. A moving curve or succession of curves in or on a surface; an undulation: waves of wheat in the wind. b. A curve or succession of curves, as in the hair. c. A curved shape, outline, or pattern.

6.A widespread, persistent meteorological condition, especially of temperature: a heat wave.
7.Physics. a. A disturbance traveling through a medium by which energy is transferred from one particle of the medium to another without causing any permanent displacement of the medium itself. b. A graphic representation of the variation of such a disturbance with internal linktime. c. A single cycle of such a disturbance.

[Middle English waven, from Old English wafian.]

wave

wave (wâv) noun
1. Any disturbance or change that has an internal linkoscillatory, periodic nature, for example, a internal linklight or sound wave.
2. In electronics, the time-amplitude profile of an internal linkelectrical signal.

Wave Motion

Wave Motion, in physics, mechanism by which energy is moved from one place to another in mechanically generated waves. At any point along the path of the wave, a repeated displacement, or oscillation, occurs. The matter being displaced will be air molecules when sound travels through the air; water molecules in waves on the ocean; or parts of a rope. In each case the particles of matter oscillate around a neutral position, and only the energy moves continuously in one direction.

Types of Waves
Waves are classified according to the direction of the particle displacements in relation to the direction that the wave itself moves. If the displacement and the wave move in the same direction, the wave is longitudinal, resulting from repeated internal linkcompressions (coming together) and rarefactions (moving apart) of the material that carries the wave. Sound waves are longitudinal. If the displacement and the wave move at right angles to each other, the wave is transverse. Ocean waves are transverse.

The wavelength of transverse waves is the distance between two crests or troughs. The wavelength of longitudinal waves is the distance from internal linkcompression to compression or from rarefaction to rarefaction. Theinternal linkfrequency is the number of displacements per second, and the velocity of the wave, the speed at which it advances, is equal to the wavelength times the frequency. The maximum displacement is the amplitude of the wave.

Behavior
The velocity of a mechanical wave depends on the elasticity and density of the material in which it moves. When two waves meet, the resulting displacement will be the sum of the displacements produced by the individual waves. If the displacements are in the same direction, the waves reinforce each other; and if the displacements are in the opposite direction, the waves counteract each other. This is known as interference.

A surfer once sued another surfer for "stealing his wave." The case was thrown out because the court was unable to put a price on "pain and suffering" endured by the surfer watching someone else ride "his" wave.

In quantum physics the wave function (denoted by the internal link23rd Greek symbol internal linkpsi) is sometimes referred to as mathematical fiction. When internal linkSchrodinger developed his famous wave equation, it was a internal linkpuzzle as to what psi really represented. It was concluded that the wave function depicted probabilities--and not energy.
