The material through which a wave transfers energy. It may be a solid, liquid and/or gas. An
electromagnetic wave does not need a medium to transfer energy, i.e. light, radio waves, x-rays, etc.
medium
Frequency
Refraction
Reflection
A wave that travels through matter, i.e. solid, liquid and/or gas. The particles of the
medium move parallel in to the direction of the wave. The wavelength is measured from rarefaction to
rarefaction or compression to compression.
Longitudinal wave
Transverse wave
wavelength
Longitudinal and transverse wave
Mechanical transverse waves need matter, while electromagnetic waves do not need
matter, i.e. light. The particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave. The
wavelength is measured from crest to crest or trough to trough.
Transverse wave
Longitudinal wave
Wavelength
Longitudinal and transverse wave
What is the relationship between wavelength and frequency?
As the wavelength increases (longer) the frequency
decreases. As the wavelength decreases (shorter) the frequency increases.
As the wavelength increases (shorter) the frequency
decreases. As the wavelength decreases (longer) the frequency increases.
As the wavelength decreases (longer) the frequency
decreases. As the wavelength increases (shorter) the frequency increases.
As the frequency increases (longer) the wavelength
decreases. As the frequency decreases (shorter) the wavelength increases.

Addison wants to make a punch with fruit slices for the party. However, she wants everyone to be able to see
the fruit, so she uses a glass punch bowl. Why are you able to see through the glass punch bowl?
You are able to see through the glass punch bowl because it is transparent making the light transmit through it.
You are able to see through the glass punch bowl because it is reflecting making the light transmit through it.
You are able to see through the glass punch bowl because it is refracting making the light transmit through it.
You are able to see through the glass punch bowl because it is transmitting making the light transmit through it.
