term definition how i will remember
longitudinal wave

frequency

wave period

scatter plot

fetch

wave train

rogue wave

Explanation:

• Longitudinal wave: A wave where the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of wave propagation. You can remember it by thinking of a slinky being pushed and pulled along its length.
• Frequency: The number of wave cycles that pass a given point per unit time. Recall it as "how often the waves come".
• Wave period: The time it takes for one complete wave cycle to pass a given point. Remember it as the inverse of frequency.
• Scatter plot: A type of graph that uses Cartesian coordinates to display values for two variables for a set of data. Think of it as a way to show data - point relationships.
• Fetch: The length of open water over which the wind blows, generating waves. Remember it as the "wave - making wind path".
• Wave train: A group of waves traveling together. Picture a series of similar waves following one another.
• Rogue wave: A very large and unexpected ocean wave. Think of it as a "monster wave" that appears suddenly.
