- 6AmplitudeThe maximum displacement on either side of the equilibrium (midpoint) position.
- 7CrestHighest point of a wave.
- 8TroughCompressional wave.
- 9Radio wavesElectromagnetic waves with the longest wavelength, lowest frequency, and lowest energy.
- 10Transverse waveA wave that moves the medium in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels.
- 11Infrared radiation" Heat waves "
- 12Microwave radiationType of electromagnetic radiation; used for cell phone communication.
- 13X-rayType of electromagnetic radiation used by doctors to take images of your bones, because these waves penetrate skin but not bones.
