• Mass
• Weight

All waves carry ________ as they travel from one place to another.

• matter

• space

• energy

• water

What are the two main types of waves?

• electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves

• transverse waves and longitudinal waves

• sound waves and light waves

Which are properties of a mechanical wave?

• can be longitudinal or transverse

• can move through space

• must have matter to move

• carries energy

Give examples of mechanical waves.

• sound waves, water waves, seismic waves

• electromagnetic waves

• light waves

• heat waves

Any material that a wave travels through is called a ____________________.

• vibration
• compression
• medium
• crest

A wave that can travel through matter and empty space is a:

• electromagnetic wave

• longitudinal wavy

• transverse wave

What is the difference between transverse and longitudinal waves?

• The difference between transverse and longitudinal waves is the wavelength of the waves.

• The difference between transverse and longitudinal waves is the amplitude of the waves.

• The difference between transverse and longitudinal waves is the direction in which the particles vibrate.

• The difference between transverse and longitudinal waves is the speed at which they travel.

The wave shown in the diagram is an example of a

• longitudinal wave

• mechanical wave

• P-wave

• transverse wave

When particles move parallel to the motion of the wave, the wave is called....

• Transverse

• Longitudinal

• S-wave

• EMR wave
