  Audience wave: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com
The "wave" (also called a Mexican wave) is a phenomenon that commonly occurs in the audiences of sporting events, and sometimes in other large crowds.
In many large arenas the audience is seated in a circular arrangement all the way around the sport field, and so the wave is able to travel continuously around the arena; in non-circular seating arrangements, the wave can instead reflect back and forth through the audience.
The wave was apparently introduced into the soccer community at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, from which the name "Mexican wave" derives.

 Audience Wave
The "audience wave" (also called a '''Mexican wave''', or simply "'''the wave'''") is a phenomenon that commonly occurs in the audiences of sport ing events, and sometimes in other large crowds.
The result is a "wave" of standing audience members that travels rapidly through the audience, even though individual audience members never move from their seats (thus, the wave could be said to be a transverse wave).
The wave was launched into the soccer community and to the world at the World Cup in Mexico in 1986, from which the name "Mexican wave" derives.

 Physics at Minnesota: Events
Transverse waves are waves that move along a medium where the medium moves perpendicular to the direction that the wave moves.
The reflected waves that are returning act as a second source that will cross the newly generated incoming waves and wave interference results.
This standing wave will have one half the wavelength of the frequency it is amplifying or a whole number of half wavelengths, depending on the energy of the source.

 Wave - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Waves travel and transfer energy from one point to another, with little or no permanent displacement of the particles of the medium (there is little or no associated mass transport); instead there are oscillations around fixed positions.
The amplitude of a wave (commonly notated as A, or another letter) is a measure of the maximum disturbance in the medium during one wave cycle.
The units of the amplitude depend on the type of wavewaves on a string have an amplitude expressed as a distance (meters), sound waves as pressure (pascals) and electromagnetic waves as the amplitude of the electric field (volts/meter).

As a set of concepts to use with other audience analysis models, generational cohorts are a powerful tool for public broadcasters in dealing with three groups in their audience: the Matures, the Baby Boomers and Generation X. Townshend's epigrammatic song, "My Generation," endures as a high-water mark in generation wars.

 OJR article: The Third Wave of Online Journalism
The first wave, from 1982 to 1992, began with several publishing experiments and was later dominated by proprietary services such as AOL and CompuServe.
This wave is characterized by more-sophisticated owners and better-trained staffs, end-users dependent on traditional news organizations for the daily global report, proliferating mobile platforms and new software that enables powerful forms of publishing, such as wireless push and immersive technologies.
Networks are nothing without an audience, and while end-user contributions are valuable, many self-publishing end-users would have little to talk about without the news that networks supply: Most blogs spend much of their "air time" commenting on news reported and published by major news organizations.
