What is it called when two waves interact with each other.

Interference

200

The lowest point of a transverse wave

What is the trough?

200

300

when a wave strikes a surface and bounces off is called

What is reflection?

300

The measurement of a wave from the resting line to the crest. 

Amplitude

300

This type of wave requires a medium and the energy moves in the same direction (parallel) to the medium

Compression

400

400

A wave travels from one medium to another

What is Transmission?

400

The number of wavelengths that pass a given point per second.

What is frequency?

400

This type of wave vibrates matter in the same direction from how the wave is moving.
