200 Hertz How do you measure frequency in Waves?	200 solid, liquid, and gas What are the 3 types of mediums Mechanical waves can travel through?	200 Sound waves, ultrasound, or seismic P waves What are 2 examples of Longitudinal waves?	200 Perpendicular to the direction of the waves What way do transverse waves move?	200 Medium What is a solid, liquid, or gas, some waves need to travel through
300 Rarefactions What is it called when the particles in a wave are spread apart?	300 Water waves, seismic waves, or sound waves What are 2 types of mechanical waves?	300 Parallel to the direction of the waves How do longitudinal waves move?	300 Electromagnetic, seismic, or surface ripples What are at least two examples of transverse waves?	300 Wavelength What is the measurement between two crests or troughs called?
400 Compressions What is it called when the particles in a wave are close together?	400 A disturbance or vibration in matter What causes Mechanical waves?	400 The distance between two compressions How is wavelength measured in a Longitudinal wave?	400 Right angles At what angle do points on a transverse wave oscillate along paths?	400 Amplitude What is the measurement from the resting rate to the crest or trough?
500 Height, speed, amplitude, wavelength, cycle, frequency, and period What are at least 4 important properties of waves?	500 Energy Do mechanical waves transfer energy or material?	500 Transverse waves move perpendicular to the direction of the wave while longitudinal waves move parallel. What's the difference between longitudinal waves and transverse waves?	500 Right angle What angle do transverse waves vibrate at?	500 Frequency The number of waves that pass through in 1 second is called...
