What is a Wave

• Waves spread when passing through or around a barrier.

• A disturbance that transfers energy.

• The bouncing back of a wave after striking a barrier.

• Waves change speed and direction when entering a new medium.

What is a Transverse wave.

• Lowest point of a wave.

• The number of waves that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time

• A disturbance that transfers energy.

• A wave in which the disturbance moves perpendicular to the direction of the wave.

What is a Longitudinal wave

• Distance from one wave crest to the next crest or from one trough to the next trough.

• Distance between the mid line and highest or lowest point of a wave.

• Waves spread when passing through or around a barrier.

• A wave in which the disturbance moves in the same direction as the wave.
