- Wave Parts - A diagram of a wave, with labeled parts. Includes an interactive window in which the user can change the frequency of the wave.
- WAVES: Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service - WAVES was established during World War II and this Web site is from the WAVES National Michigan Unit 32. It honors all women that have served in the military and particularly in the WAVES.
- How Wave Pools Work - Explains a variety of concepts related to making waves in water.
- Wave Energy Research Team - This site gives details of research work on wave energy power conversion at University of Limerick, Ireland.
- Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory - Dedicated to the detection of cosmic gravitational waves and the harnessing of these waves for scientific research.
- Sound Waves and the Eardrum - Offers an animation of how high and low pressure waves make the eardrum vibrate along with information on how the journey of sound waves affects the brain.
- Seismic Waves - Educational course published by the Matter Initiative for Schools at the University of Liverpool. Includes Java applet animations for visualizing how P waves and S waves are recorded on seismometers, how waves travel through solids and liquids, measuring the Earth's core, and calulating an earthquake's epicenter.
- World Wave Atlas - Information about a series of interactive wind and wave atlases providing wind and wave climate statistics worldwide.

- Tropical wave - Tropical waves, or easterly waves, also known as African easterly waves in the Atlantic region, are a type of atmospheric trough, an elongated area of relatively low air pressure, oriented north to south, which move from east to west across the tropics causing areas of cloudiness and thunderstorms. West-moving waves can ...
- Lee waves - In meteorology, lee waves, are atmospheric standing waves. The most common form is mountain waves, which are atmospheric internal gravity waves, and were discovered in 1933 by German glider pilots above the Riesengebirge.
- Love wave - In elastodynamics, Love waves are essentially horizontally polarized shear waves (SH waves) guided by an elastic layer, which is "welded" to an elastic half space on one side and borders vacuum on the other side. In seismology, Love waves (also named Q waves) are surface seismic waves that cause horizontal shifting of the earth during an earthquake.
- Rogue wave (oceanography) - Rogue waves, also known as freak waves, or extreme waves, are relatively large and spontaneous ocean surface waves which are a threat even to large ships and ocean liners. In oceanography, they are more precisely defined as waves that are more than double the significant wave height (SWH), which is itself defined as the ...
- Diffraction - Diffraction refers to various phenomena associated with wave propagation, such as the bending, spreading and interference of waves passing by an object or aperture that disrupts the wave. It occurs with any type of wave, including sound waves, water waves, electromagnetic waves such as visible light, x-rays and radio waves.
