waves
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Waves | a disturbance or oscillation that travels through space or a medium, transporting energy from one point to another without transferring matter. |
| Mechanical Wave, | disturbances or oscillations that transfer energy through a physical medium (solid, liquid, or gas) without transporting matter |
| Medium | something in the middle (size/quality), |
| Transverse Wave, | a type of wave where the medium's particles or electromagnetic fields oscillate perpendicular (at right angles) to the direction of energy transfer. |
| Longitudinal Wave, | a mechanical wave where particle oscillation is parallel to the direction of energy propagation, |
| Sound Wave | a mechanical, longitudinal, or pressure wave that transmits energy through a medium |
| Amplitude | the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a wave, |
| Wavelength | the spatial distance between identical, corresponding points of two consecutive waves |
| Frequency | the rate at which a periodic event repeats over a specific time |
| Pitch | the highness/lowness of sound |
