- 1wavea disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another
- 2mediuma physical environment in which phenomena occur; for waves, the material through which a wave can travel.
- 3longitudinal wavea wave in which the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of wave motion
- 4transverse wavea wave in which the particles of the medium move perpendicularly to the direction the wave is traveling
- 5mechanical wavea wave that requires a medium through which to travel
- 6electromagnetic wavea wave, consisting of changing electric and magnetic fields, that is emitted by vibrating electric charges and can travel through a vacuum.
- 7longitudinal waves are made ofcompressions and rarefactions
- 8amplitudethe maximum distance that the particles of a waves medium vibrate from their rest position.
- 9wave lengththe distance from any point on a wave to the corresponding point on the next wave.
- 10wave periodthe time required for corresponding points on consecutive waves to pass a given point
- 11frequencythe number of cycles, such as waves, in a given amount of time
- 12hertzunit of frequency equal to 1 cycle per second
- 13wave speedthe speed at which a wave travels; speed depends on the medium
