| wave | a distribution that transfer energy from one place to another without transferring |
| mechanical wave | a wave that only through matter. |
| medium | a material in which a wave travels. |
| transverse wave | a wave in which the distribution Is perpendicular to the direction the wave travels |
| longitudinal wave | causes the particles in medium to move parallel to the direction that the waves travels |
| sound wave | a longitudinal wave that can travel only through matter |
| Frequency | waves have another property called frequency |
| wavelength | the distance between one point on a wave to the same point on the next wave is the wavelength |
| amplitude | the maximum distance that the wave moves from its rest position |
| pitch | how high or low a sound seems |
