What is a crest?
100
The maximum distance the particles of a medium move away from their rest positions as a wave passes through the medium.
What is amplitude?

What is a longitudinal wave?
200
The lowest part of a transverse wave.

200
The distance between two corresponding parts of a wave.
What is wavelength?
300

A disturbance that transfers energy from place to place.

What is a wave?

300

What is a compression?
300
The number of complete waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time.
What is frequency?
400

Why all durags are sold out??????

Guys trying to get waves! hahaha

400
The part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are far apart.
What is a rarefaction?
400
