What is the molecules are packed tightly compared to liquids and solids.
300
Mechanical waves need this to transfer energy.
What is a medium.
300
These waves travel through a space where there is no matter.

What is louder.
400
Type of wave that moves forward and backward along the same direction the wave travels.
Compressional
400
This is the distance between crests (or troughs) of a wave.

mechanical
500
These are waves that move up and down.
What is transverse.
500
Top of a wave. Bottom of a wave
