Terms
The tallest part of a wave
Crest
The type of wave that carries energy at a right angle or perpendicular
Transverse
What waves carry from place to place
Energy, not matter
The unit for frequency
Hz
Another name for speed
Velocity
The "tightest" part of a wave
Compression
How a transverse wave moves
Up and down
This wave travels parallel in relation to a medium
Longitudinal
The calculation for speed
Another name for longitudinal wave
Compression
The lowest part of a wave
Trough
Sound is an example of this type of wave
Longitudinal
Solid, liquid, and gas - in relation to waves
Medium or matter
The speed of a wave with a frequency of 50Hz and a wavelength of 10m
500m/s
Another name for wave
Oscillation
The stretched-out part of a wave
Rarefraction
Light is an example of this type of wave
Transverse
** DAILY DOUBLE **
These waves have short wavelengths
** DOUBLE JEOPARDY **
High frequency
The wavelength of a wave with a frequency of 5Hz and a speed of 25m/s

This type of wave's movement is similar to a speaker
Longitudinal / Compression
The number of wavelengths that pass a point each per second
Frequency
Waves that require a medium
Mechanical
