What is trough
500
What is the distance between a point on one wave to the same point on the next wave?
What is wavelength
500
When waves encounter a surface or other boundary that does not absorb the energy of the radiation and bounces the waves away from the surface.
What is reflection

What is a wave that moves the medium in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels?
What is transverse
500
What is the distance between a wave's midpoint and its crests and troughs?
