• Compression

A wave that vibrates a medium at a right angle.

• Transverse wave

• The resting point

The low point on a transverse wave is called

• The Trogh
• Energy
• The crest
• The trough

A wave that vibrates a medium in the same direction that it travels.

• Longitudinal wave
• Surface wave
• Transverse wave

When a medium is closer together than in other parts of the wave.

• Rarefaction
• Compression
• Amplitude

When a medium is further away than in other parts of the wave

• Rarefaction
