The type of waves that require medium to pass:

• Mechanical Waves
• Electromagnetic Waves

A mechanical wave cannot travel through...

• a vacuum(empty space).
• water.
• air. 
• glass.

Which letter(s) represent the crest of the wave?

• A
• B & D

NGSS.MS-PS4-1

A disturbance that travels through a medium as a longitudinal wave

• sound
• wavelength
• pitch
• frequency

NGSS.MS-PS4-2

travels through solids fastest because the molecules are closer together

• speed of sound
• wavelength
• frequency
• amplitude

NGSS.HS-PS4-1

Material (matter) through which a wave travels

• medium
• Doppler Effect
• sound
• pitch

Tags

NGSS.MS-PS4-2

How high or low a sound is; depends on the frequency (greater frequency= higher pitch)

• pitch
• frequency
• sound
• medium

A wave in which the vibration is in the same direction as that in which the wave is traveling; sound waves

• longitudinal wave
• ocean wave
• transverse wave
• mechanical wave
