Waves

when a wave changes direction

• diffraction

• period

• medium

• crest

The material through which a wave travels is called (gases (air), liquids, solids)

• transverse wave

• medium

• mechanical wave

• speed

Waves that require a medium are called

• wavelength

• amplitude

• transverse waves

• mechanical waves

Waves that move the medium at right angles to the direction in which the waves travel

• transverse waves

• mechanical waves

• gamma

• Hertz

the distance between two corresponding parts of a wave. (crest-to-crest, trough-to-trough)

• amplitude

• frequency

• wavelength

• mechanical wave

the number of complete waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time.

• amplitude

• frequency

• speed

• trough

how far the wave travels in one unit of time.

• amplitude

• density

• Speed

• wave

What is a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another?

• wave

• speed

• frequency

• amplitude

Frequency is measured in unit called: ________________

• Sound

• Miles

• Meters

• Hertz
