Which type of wave moves matter parallel to the direction of the wave?
What is a Longitudinal Wave.
When light bends as it moves from one state of matter to another...
Refraction
The number of wavelengths that pass a given point per second
Frequency
when a wave bounces off a barrier it encounters
reflection
The high point of a transverse wave
crest
Which type of wave moves matter perpendicular to the direction of the wave?
Transverse Wave.
What is the region of a compressional wave where the particles are close together?
compression
What type of electromagnetic wave is dangerous?
one with a high frequency like sunlight, xray, and gamma
when a wave can travel through a barrier we saw that it is
transmitted
Describe a quiet low pitched sound wave
