Waves Waves Troughs Frequency Amplitude Force Crests Medium Compressional Wave Transverse wave Wavelength Velocity Hertz Waves are rhythmic disturbances that carry energy through matter or space. Troughs are the lowest points of a wave. Frequency is the number of waves to pass a point in one second. Amplitude is the distance from the crest to the resting position of the wave, showing the amount of energy being carried. Force is a push or pull on a body by another body. Crests are the highest points of a wave. Medium is the material A compressional wave is a through which a wave travels. wave in which the material moves in the same direction as the energy. A transverse wave is a wave in which the material moves at a right angle to the energy. Wavelength is the distance from crest to crest. Velocity = wavelength x frequency Hertz is a unit of measure of frequency equal to 1 wave per second.
