| waves | _______ transmit energy from one place to another without a permanent transfer of mass. |
| wavelength | One ___________ is measured from any point on a wave to the corresponding point on the next wave |
| amplitude | The ___________ of a wave depends on the type of wave |
| wave frequency | ______________ is the number of waves produced over a given period |
| inverse relationship | There is an ____________ between frequency and wavelength |
| speed of a wave | defined as the distance a point on a wave travels over time |
| meter/second (m/s) | how speed of a wave is expressed |
| refraction | _________ occurs when a wave passes through different materials, resulting in a change in the speed of the wave |
| reflection | occurs when a wave bounces from a surface back toward its source |
| diffraction | ______________ is a characteristic of all wave types and occurs when a wave encounters irregular surfaces |
| longitudinal waves | are caused by vibrations carried through a substance |
| medium | this is sometimes referred to as a medium (solid, liquid. or gas) |
| vibrate | When energy is being transferred through a medium by a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium ___________ back and forth along the same path that the wave travels |
| compression/longitudinal | A _____________ wave consists of a repeating pattern of compressions and rarefactions |
| transverse wave | When energy passes through a medium (matter) in a ________________, particles vibrate in an up-and-down motion |
| how radiant energy travels | in transverse waves |
| mechanical waves | compression or longitudinal waves are also called this |
| sound is a form of this kind of energy | mechanical energy |
| interference | Interference is the addition of two or more waves, resulting in a new wave pattern |
| resonance | is the tendency of a system to vibrate at maximum amplitude at certain frequencies |
