100
What is a disturbance of energy that transfers energy from place to place
Wave
100
Moves the medium at right angles to the direction of wave travel
transverse waves
100
what type of medium do waves travel through fastest
solids
100
a wave bending around or squeezing through something
Diffraction
100
Waves produced by earthquakes
seismic waves
200
What is the low part of a wave called
trough
200
a type of wave that needs a medium to travel through
mechanical wave
200
how are mechanical waves classified
by the way they move
200
when a wave hits something and bounces back
reflection
200
Longitudinal waves that move very fast
P- wave
300
where the particles in a medium spread apart
rarefaction
300
the material that mechanical waves travel through
Medium
300
Describe how transverse wave moves
it transfers energy into molecules
300
When a wave bends due to entering a new medium
refraction
300
combination of all seismic waves
surface waves
400
where the particles of a medium come together
compressions
400
moves the medium particles parallel to the direction the wave travles
Longitudinal waves
400
the ability to do work
energy
400
when waves combine to form one with larger amplitude
constructive interference
400
Seismic waves that can not travel through water
S waves
500
what is the high point of a wave called
crest
500
a repeated back/forth motion
vibration
500
when waves combine to make one with a smaller amplitude
destructive interference
500
Instrument that is used to record seismic waves
seismograph
