* Ocean surface waves, which are perturbations that propagate through water.
* Radio waves, microwaves, infrared rays, visible light, ultraviolet rays, x-rays, and gamma rays make up electromagnetic radiation. In this case, propagation is possible without a medium, through vacuum. These electromagnetic waves travel at 299,792,458 m/s in a vacuum.
* Sound — a mechanical wave that propagates through air, liquid or solids.
* waves of traffic (i.e. propagation of different densities of motor vehicles, etc.) — these can be modelled as kinematic waves, as first presented by Sir M. J. Lighthill
* Seismic waves in earthquakes, of which there are three types, called S, P, and L.
* Gravitational waves, which are fluctuations in the curvature of spacetime predicted by general Relativity. These waves are nonlinear, and have yet to be observed empirically.
* Inertial waves, which occur in rotating fluids and are restored by the Coriolis effect.

Waves according to shape:
1) Longitudinal Wave (Sounds)
2) Transverse Wave (Light)
Waves according to the Electromagnetic Spectrum (From Long to Short):
1) Extremely Low Frequency (ELF)- 3- 30 Hertz
2) Super Low Frequency (SLF)- 30 -300 Hz
3) Ultra Low Frequency (ULF)- 300- 3000 Hz
4) Very Low Frequency (VLF)- 3- 30 KiloHertz (kHz)
5) Low Frequency (LF)- 30- 300 kHz
6) Medium Frequency (MF)- 300- 3000 kHz
7) High Frequency (HF)- 3- 30 MegaHertz (MHz)
8) Very High Frequency (VHF)- 30- 300 MHz
9) Ultra High Frequency (UHF)- 300 MHz- 3 GigaHertz (GHz)
10) Super High Frequency (SHF)- 3 GHz- 30 GHz
11) Extreme High Frequency (EHF)- 30 GHz- 300 GHz
12) Terahertz Radiation (T-rays)- 300 GHz- 3 TeraHertz (THz)
13) Infrared Radiation (IR)- 3- 450 THz
14) Visible Spectrum- 450- 750 THz
15) Ultraviolet Radiation (UV)- 750 THz- 30 PHz (PicoHertz)
16) X-Rays- 30- 30,000 PHz
17) Gamma Radiation- 30,000 PHz - >
*No one will do your homework for you.
But if this is an attempt to get people to answer what you already know, I hope they don't do that either.
Look it all up online, if you seriously want to know. For the sake of intensive information in Physics, I have researched this through the link listed below:

Hi. There are two types of Waves: Constructive and Destructive.
Constructive waves:
These was have long length with short height. they have a strong swash with a weak backwash. they are frequent and add debris to the beach.
Destructive:
These are the opposite of Constructive waves! They have a short length with a tall height. They have weak swash but strong backwash and erode the beach. These are more frequent than Constructive.
hpoe this helps. if u need anymore contact me via yahoo answers.
