| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Region of a longitudinal wave where the particles in the medium are closest together | compression |
| highest point on a traverse wave | crest |
| can travel through empty space and through matter | eel wave |
| ability to cause change | energy |
| makes the particles in medium move parallel to the direction of the wave | longitudinal wave |
| travels only through matter | mechanical wave |
| material in which a mechanical wave travels | medium |
| region of a longitudinal | rarefaction |
| disturbance is perpendicular | transverse wave |
| lowest point on a traverse wave | trough |
| disturbance that transfer energy from one place to another | wave |
| maximum distance particles in a medium move from their rest | amplitude |
| numbers of wavelengths that pass by point each second | frequency |
| distance from one point on a wave to the same point the next wave | wavelength |
