- 1Disturbance that carries energy from one place to another.Wave
- 2Material through which a wave travels.Medium
- 3Type of wave that requires a medium.Mechanical Wave
- 4Type of wave that DOES NOT require a medium.Electromagnetic Wave
- 5The high point of a transverse wave.Crest
- 6The low point of a transverse wave.Trough
- 7Area in a longitudinal wave where the particles are close together.Compression
- 8Area in a longitudinal wave where the particles are far apart.Rarefaction
- 9Distance between one point of a wave & same point on the next wave.Wavelength
- 10Transverse wave in which the particles move at a right angle to the direction the wave travels.Transverse Wave
- 11Transverse wave in which the particles move parallel to the direction the wave travels.Longitudinal Wave
- 12The max distance a wave particle moves from its rest position.Amplitude
- 13The number of waves that pass in a certain amount of time.Frequency
- 14The bouncing back of a wave when it strikes a barrier.Reflection
- 15The bending of a wave when its speed changes.Refraction
- 16The bending of a wave around the edge of a barrier.Diffraction
- 17The interaction between 2 waves that travel through the same medium at the same time.Interference
- 18Type of interference where crests meet crest & the amplitude of the wave increases.Constructive Interference
- 19Type of interference where crests meet troughs & the amplitude of the wave decreases.Destructive Interference
