(geology, seismology) A transverse, shear wave, such as that produced by an earthquake. Movement is transverse to the direction of propagation and is a body wave.

A wave form which occurs in a limited, fixed medium in such a way that the reflected wave coincides with the produced wave. A common example is the vibration of the strings on a musical stringed instrument.

A regular sequence of wave pulses

(physics) A wave form which occurs in a limited, fixed medium in such a way that the reflected wave coincides with the produced wave. A common example is the vibration of the strings on a musical stringed instrument.
