|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Energy | Ability to cause changes in matter
🗑
|
||||
| Wave | A disturbance or vibration of a medium that moves through the medium
🗑
|
||||
| Electromagnetic Wave | Transverse wave consisting of vibrating electric and magnetic fields that can travel across space
🗑
|
||||
| Mechanical/Physical Wave | A disturbance in matter that transfers energy from place to place; starts when matter is disturbed
🗑
|
||||
| Vibration | Rapid back and forth movements
🗑
|
||||
| Medium | Materials (series of interconnected particles) through which a wave travels
🗑
|
||||
| Light | Electromagnetic radiation that can be perceived by the human eye
🗑
|
||||
| Sound | Transfer of energy from a vibrating object in longitudinal waves that travel through matter.
🗑
|
||||
| Earthquake/Seismic | A sudden movement of the Earth's lithosphere (its crust and upper mantle).
🗑
|
||||
| Longitudinal Wave | Wave in which particles of the medium vibrate in the same direction that the wave travels.
🗑
|
||||
| Transverse Wave | Wave in which particles of the medium vibrate at right angles to the direction that the wave travels
🗑
|
||||
| Wavelength | Wavelength can be measured as the distance between two adjacent crests of a transverse wave or two adjacent compressions of a longitudinal wave
🗑
|
||||
| Trough | The lowest point of a transverse wave
🗑
|
||||
| Crest | The highest point of a transverse wave
🗑
|
||||
| Amplitude | The maximum distance the particles of a medium move from their resting position
🗑
|
||||
| Frequency | The number of waves that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time; measured in hertz (Hz)
🗑
|
||||
| Compression | The densest part of a longitudinal wave; force that tends to shorten or squeeze something, decreasing its volume.
🗑
|
||||
| Rarefaction | The part of a longitudinal wave that is more spread out; a decrease in density and pressure in a medium, such as air, especially when caused by the passage of a wave
🗑
