| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| mechanical wave | a disturbance that propagates through a physical medium (solid, liquid, or gas), transferring energy from one location to another without transferring matter. |
| medium | "using the latest technology as a medium for job creation" |
| transverse wave | a wave vibrating at right angles to the direction of its propagation. |
| wave | a disturbance or oscillation that travels through space or a medium (such as water, air, or solids), transferring energy from one place to another without transporting matter |
| sound | a form of energy produced by the vibrations of an object |
| longitudinal wave | a mechanical wave where particles of the medium vibrate parallel to (in the same direction as) the energy transfer |
| ampitude | the maximum extent of a vibration, oscillation, or displacement of a wave measured from its equilibrium (rest) position. |
| frequency | the number of occurrences of a repeating event (such as oscillations, vibrations, or wave cycles) per unit of time. |
