Highest point in a wave

Transfers energy through a medium, without transporting matter

Length of one complete wave cycle

The return of a wave back into its original medium

Caused by a disturbance

A wave with vibrations at right angles to the direction the wave is traveling

Number of vibrations an object makes in a unit of time

Bending of a wave around a barrier, such as an obstacle or the edge of an opening

Lowest point in a wave

A series of waves travelling in the same direction

One wave per second

Bending of a wave as crosses over different media at an angle

Contains a complete crest and trough

A wave in which vibration is in the same direction that the wave is traveling

Multiply the wavelength by the frequncy of waves

Material that waves travel through

Rest, or without a disturbance

The distance between equilibrium (rest position) to the crest (or trough), maximum amount of displacement
