Wavelength

Front

Distance between one point on a wave and the exact same place on the next wave.

Back

Compression

Front

The part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are close together.

Back

Energy

Front

The capacity to do work.

Back

Transverse wave

Front

A wave in which the medium moves at right angles to the direction of the wave.

Back

Amplitude

Front

How far the medium(crests and troughs,or compression's and rarefaction's ) moves from rest position (The place the medium is when not moving).

Back

Frequency

Front

How many waves can pass a given point per second, measured in Hertz (Hz).

Back

Trough

Front

The lowest point of a transverse wave

Back

Rarefacton

Front

When the particles of a longitudinal wave are far apart.

Back

Diffraction

Front

The bending of a wave as it moves around an object

Back

Refraction

Front

When a wave bends.

Back

wave

Front

A disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another

Back

mechanical wave

Front

A wave that requires a medium through which to travel.

Back

Electromagnetic waves

Front

A wave that does not require a medium to travel , for example , it can travel through a vacuum, Also called an EM wave.

Back

Compressional Longitudinal Wave

Front

A wave in which the medium moves back and forth in the same direction as the wave.

Back

Crest

Front

The highest point of a transverse wave.

Back

Reflection

Front

When a wave bounces off an surface.
