sound waves
a wave were the particles move parallel to the direction of the energy transfer
What is a longitudinal wave?
This wave has the longest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum
what are radio waves?
the highest point of a wave
what is the crest?
the amplitude of a sound wave determines
what is loudness of the sound?
This type of electromagnetic wave is used in radar and to heat food
what are microwaves?
the lowest point of a wave
what is the trough?
something virabtes or moves
what is a sound wave?
This type of electromagnetic wave has the shortest wavelength and highest frequency
what are gamma rays?
the distance from one crest to the next
what is wavelength?
Sound is a type of wave that is a repeating pattern of compression and what?
What is refraction?
This is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye
what is visible light?
the maximum displacement from rest position
what is amplitude?
This is the type of wave that sound is, where the particles of the medium move parallel to the wave's direction.
what is a longitudinal or mechanical wave?
This happens when a light wave bounces off a surface
what is reflection?
The part of a longitudinal wave where particles are spread apart.
what is refraction?
