100
It can't fix a car, but this does requires a medium through which to travel.
What is a mechanical wave?
100
This is the highest part of a transverse wave, not toothpaste.
What is a crest?
100
The material (not too big, and not too small) through which a wave travels.
What is a medium?
100
The maximum distance the particles of a medium move away from their rest positions as a wave passes through the medium.
What is amplitude?
100
As frequency increases my__________ decreases.
What is wavelength?
200
A wave that moves the medium in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels.
What is a transverse wave?
200
The lowest part of a transverse wave.
What is a trough?
200
A disturbance that transfers energy from place to place.
What is a wave?
200
The distance between two corresponding parts of a wave.
What is wavelength?
200

What is amplitude?
300
A wave that moves the medium in a direction parallel to the direction in which the wave travels.
What is a longitudinal or compression wave?
300
The part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are close together.
What is a compression?
300
