STEVE
A wave in which the particles of the medium move perpendicularly to the direction the wave is traveling
Transverse wave
A wave that requires a medium through which to travel
Mechanical wave
A wave that consists of electric and magnetic fields that vibrate at right angles to each other
Electromagnetic wave
The time required for one wavelength to pass a given point
Wave period
The maximum distance from the rest position that the medium moves in a wave
Changes the volume
Amplitude
A continuum of all electromagnetic waves arranged according to frequency and wavelength
Electromagnetic Spectrum
Electro magnetic waves with wavelengths longer than visible light but shorter than radio waves. It is invisible to the human eye
Infrared
The colors of light that we see
Visible Light

41,452
The distance between two similar parts of a wave
Wavelength
Electromagnetic wave energy from the sun. Wavelength shorter than visible light and longer than x-rays
Ultraviolet Light
Energy waves bouncing off the surface of an object; mirrors or echoes return energy back to the source
reflection
A horizontal row of elements in the periodic table
Period
The highest point on a transverse wave
crest
The transfer of energy through matter or space as electromagnetic waves, such as visible light and infrared waves
Radiation
An element that has properties of both metals and nonmetals
Metalloid
A region around the nucleus of an atom where electrons are likely to be found
electron cloud
An abbreviation of the name of an element
The lowest point of a transverse wave
Trough
A disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another; a ____ can be a single cycle or it can be a repeating pattern
Wave
The weighted average of the masses of all naturally occurring isotopes of an elements
Atomic mass
An element that conducts heat and electricity poorly
nonmetal
An element that is shiny and that conducts heat and electricity well
Metal
The parts of a longitudinal wave that are spread apart
Rarefactions
A wave in which the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of wave motion
Longitudinal wave
