What is Trough
The lowest point of the wave
|
What is Rarefraction
Where the particles are spread apart

What is Reflection
When waves bounce off a surface
|
What is Sound
A type of compressional wave made by a guitar

The highest point of the wave
|
What is Frequency
How many waves go past a point in one second
|
What is Amplitude
Height of a wave
|
What is Refraction
The change in direction of a wave when it changes speed as it travels from one medium to another.
|
What is water
A type of transverse waves
|
|
What is Compression
Where the particles are close together
|
What is Compressional waves
Waves in which the particles vibrate back and forth
|
What is Wave speed
Depends on the medium in which the wave is traveling. Varies in solids, liquids, and gases

|
What is Electromagnetic Waves
Wave DO NOT need a medium to be able to move
|
What is Diffraction
The bending of waves around an object
