| A | B |
| longitudinal wave | waves for sound |
| transverse wave | wave for light |
| mechanical wave | wave that must b transmitted through a substance or solid |
| rarefactions | point in wave where the molecules are farthest apart |
| condensation | point in the wave where the molecules are closest together |
| amplitude | distance from equilibrium to rest |
| period | time required to complete one cycle or a movement in a direction and back again |
| refraction | when waves cross boundaries a bending |
| reflection | when waves are absorbed or bounce back |
| what is the equation for distance in temp changes? | Vo+(0.60 m/s)/*C0(T) or Vo+(2 ft/sec)/*C)(T |
