What do we call the part of a compressional wave that is when the waves are squeezed together?

• compression
• rarefaction
• crest
• trough

What do we call the part of a compressional wave that is spread a part?

• compression
• rarefaction
• crest
• trough

Name the type of wave that matter moves at right angles to the direction of the wave?

• compressional waves
• mechanical waves
• transverse waves
• ultraviolet rays

Why would a wave change direction?

• Because it kept traveling through the same medium
• Because it went from one medium to another
• the amplitude was too large
• the frequency was too small

What is the name of a material in which waves, like sound waves, seismic waves, and waves in a slinky 

• Vacuum
• Medium
• Mechanical
• Space
