100
A wave that appears to not move.
What is a standing wave?
100
The high point of a transverse wave
crest
200
The type of wave that oscillates parallel to the direction of energy transfer.
What is a longitudinal wave?
200
The region of a longitudinal wave where the particles are close together.
What is compression?
200
The lowest point of a wave.
What is a trough?
200
The frequency an object wants to vibrate at.
What is natural frequency?

The distance between two like points in a wave.
What is wavelength?
300
What waves travel through.
What is a medium?
300
The measure of how high or low a wave is
Amplitude
300
The thing that waves do not transfer while they transfer energy.
What is matter or mass?
400
High frequency waves have _______ wavelengths.
What is short wavelengths?
400
A wave containing compressions and refractions.
What is a longitudinal wave?
400
The time it takes for a wave to complete a full cycle.
What is period?
400
When waves superpose to form a resultant wave.
What is interference?
400
The type of wave that oscillates perpendicular to the direction of travel.
What is a transverse wave?
500
Sound waves travel the fastest through solids, liquids, gases, or all equally?
What is solids?
500
When two waves add up to make a wave of larger amplitude.
What is constructive interference?
500
If the frequency of a wave is doubled, the period of one cycle is what?
What is halved?
500
When waves reflect just right and constructively interfere, while more waves are being generated, resulting in a constantly increasing amplitude.
What is resonance?
500
The period of a wave with a frequency of 5 Hz.
