NGSS.MS-PS2-3

How many waves pass through a given point per second, measured in (Hz).

• amplitude
• crest
• frequency
• friction

A wave moves back and forth parallel to the direction that it is traveling.

• transverse wave
• seismic wave
• longitudinal wave
• mechanical wave

Energy that travels though mediums, examples are sound waves, ocean waves, and earthquake waves.

• mechanical waves
• longitudional waves
• rarefaction waves
• diffraction waves
