In this type of wave the medium and the energy moves in the same direction.
longitudinal
100
In order to hear sound waves, they must travel through a ________
Medium
100
Sound waves travel through this the slowest
gas
100
refers to how waves bounce off an object and change their direction of travel
reflection
200
the distance between two corresponding parts of a wave is
wavelength
200
What three types of mediums do sound waves travel in?
Solid, liquid, gas
200
Sound travels through this medium the fastest
solid
200
occurs when the direction of a wave changes because of a change in medium
refraction
300
a wave that moves matter back and forth as it travels through a medium.
longitudinal wave

NO change in direction of wave as it passes through a new medium.
transmission
400
a wave that moves matter up and down as it travels through a medium.
