| longitudinal waves | a wave in which the particles of the vibrattion move in the direction of the wave |
| Speed | the distance traveled divided by the time during the motion occured |
| wavelength | The distance between one peak or crest of a wave and the next peak or crest. |
| frequency | The rate that sound or other waves vibrate at |
| amplitude | the maximum displacement of a periodic wave |
| crest | The top line of a hill, mountain, or wave |
| vibration | One back and forth motion of a wave |
| reflecting | Reflected waves remain in their original medium rather than entering the medium they encounter. |
| refraction | The bending of a wave, such as a light or sound wave, as it passes from one medium to another medium of different density. |
| color spectrum | The distribution of colors produced when light is dispersed by a prism |
| wave | An energy disturbance through a medium (solid, liquid, gas) |
