Question
Answer
a periodic disturbance in a solid liquid, gas as energy is transmitted through a measurement.   Wave  
🗑
a physical environment in which pnemonea occur.   Medium  
🗑
a wave that requires a medium through which to travel.   Mechanical Wave  
🗑
a wave that consists of oscillating electric and magnetic fields of which radiate outward at the speed of light.   Electromagnetic Wave  
🗑
a wave in which the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling.   Transverse Wave  
🗑
a wave in which the particles of the median vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave motion.   Longitudinal Wave  
🗑
The highest point of a wave.   Crest  
🗑
The lowest point of a wave.   Trough  
🗑
the maximum distance that the particles of a waves medium vibrate from their rest position.   Amplitude  
🗑
the distance from any point on a wave to an identical point on the next wave.   Wave Length  
🗑
the time that it takes a complete cycle or wave oscillation to occur.   Period  
🗑
the number of wavelengths that pass a point in a given time interval.   Frequency  
🗑
occurs for light and other types of waves.   Doppler Effect  
🗑
is simply the bouncing back of a wave when it meets a surface or boundary.   Reflection  
🗑
this bending of waves as they pass an edge.   Diffraction  
🗑
when several waves are in the same location the waves combine to produce a single new wave that is different from the original.   Interference  
🗑
a wave whose amplitude is the sum of the amplitudes of the two individual waves.   Destructive Interference  
🗑
can form when a wave is reflected at the boundary of a medium.   Standing Waves  
🗑
