NGSS.MS-PS4-2

Matter in the medium moves back and forth at right angles to the direction that the wave is traveling.

• Transverse Wave

• Longitudinal Wave

Where particles are pushed together in a longitudinal wave

• Compression

• Trough

• Crest

• Rarefaction

Where particles are spread apart in the longitudinal wave

• Rarefaction

• Compression

• Crest

• Trough

The number of waves that pass a given point in one second. (This is measured in Hertz)

• Period

• Diffraction

• Frequency

• Resonance

Must travel through particles, therefore travel fastest through solids, the liquids, then gases, due to the closeness of the particles.

• Electromagnetic waves

• Mechanical waves

• Transverse waves

• Longitudinal Waves
