highest point on a transverse wave

can travel through empty spaces and through matter

ability to cause change

makes the particles in a medium move parallel to the direction of the wave

travels only through matter

material in which a mechanical waves travels

region of longitudinal wave where the particles are farther apart

disturbance is perpendicular to the direction of the wave

lowest point on a transverse wave

disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another

transfer of energy by a wave to the medium through which it travels

pertaining to building or putting parts together to make a whole

change in direction of a wave when it travels by the edge of an object or through an opening

wave that overlap and combine to form a new wave

angle of incidence equals angle of reflection

perpendicular to or forming a right angle with a line or plane

bouncing of a wave off a surface

passage of light through an object

maximum distance particles in a medium move from their rest position as waves pass through the medium

number of wavelengths that pass by a point each second

distance from one point on a wave to the same point on the next wave
