Cards in this deck (8)
- 1Properties of Waves- One way energy can be transferred between stores.
- Can only transfer energy, not matter. - 2Oscillations- Repeated and regular fluctuations, above and below the same position.
- 3Vibrations- Repeated movement back and forth.
- ( About a fixed point.) - 4Longitudinal Waves- Moves in same direction as particles vibrating.
- 5Transverse Waves- Moves in a right angle to the particles vibrating.
- 6Medium- Material that a wave can be transmitted.
