Transverse and Longitudinal Waves Concepts

TROUGH-

• highest part of a transverse wave.

• medium

• energy

• lowest part of a transverse wave.

CREST-

• vibration

• highest part of a transverse wave

• lowest part of a transverse wave

• mechanical wave

_______ the pare of a longitudinal wave where partials of the medium are close together

WAVE-

• a disturbance wave that transfer energy place to place

• unit of measurement

• the material through which a wave travels

• a wave that moves a medium in a direction perpendicular

Energy is the ability to move an object some distance

• True
• False

The part of a longitude wave where particles of the medium are far apart

• vibration

• amplitude

• rarefaction

• energy

In which type of wave do the particles of the transmitting medium oscillate at right angles to the direction of wave travel?

• Surface wave

• Longitudinal wave

• Electromagnetic wave

• Transverse wave

A wave in which the particles of the medium move perpendicularly to the direction the wave is traveling

• A. surface wave
• B. transverse wave
• C. electromagnetic  wave
• D. longitudinal wave

The low points of a transverse wave.

• Crest (peak)

• Trough

• Amplitude

• Wavelength

A wave that vibrates medium at right angles

• longitudinal

• crest

• trough

• transverse
