There is many types of waves and i'll show you just some. The first is transverse waves a wave in which the the particles of the medium move perpendicularly to the direction the wave is traveling. Which means that the particles vibrate up and down. Transverse waves has crest troughs  which the crests are the highest point and the troughs are the lowest point of the transverse waves.
The next wave is the longitudinal waves which means a wave in which the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of wave motion. That means that the particles move back and forth.  The compression is the part where the particles crowded together and the rarefaction is where the particles spread out.
Wave is any disturbance that transmits energy through matter of empty space. The medium is which a substance through which a wave can travel

  1. What about a medium? Mediums is an object that a wave can travel through. The rest of the information is up to you.

  3. You forgot the most important definition, wave. A wave is a disruption that transfers energy through matter or an empty area.
