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.
