Random!
100
How high or far your particle moves from rest position.
What is Amplitude?
100
The amount of waves that go by per second.
What is frequency?
100
Waves in which the medium moves at right angles to the direction of the wave.
What are transverse waves?
100
Waves in which the medium moves back and forth in the same direction as the wave.
What is a longitudinal wave?
100
A wave that needs matter (or medium) to transfer energy.
What is a mechanical wave?
200
The two possible results of two combining.
What is smaller amplitude and larger amplitude?
200
Hertz.
What is unit of measurement is used to measure frequency?
200
The crest.
What is the peak of a transverse wave called?
200
The parts of a longitudinal wave in which the particles are close.
What is compression?
200
Wave speed.
What is property affected by type of medium?
300
When two waves combine and the amplitude is smaller.
What is destructive interference?
300
The equation to find out wave speed.
What is wave length times frequency?
300
The trough.
What is the bottom of a transverse wave called?
300
The part of a longitudinal wave in which the particles are spread apart.
What is rarefaction?
300
Earthquake s-waves.
What is an example of a transverse wave?
400

What is an example of a longitudinal wave?
500
The phenomenon that occurs when two waves meet while traveling along the same medium.
What is wave interference?
500
The cause of less compressions in a longitudinal wave.
