Amplitude, A wave’s intensity; the maximum distance a wave carries the particles of a medium from its original position., Compression, A point where the medium is at its most squished (or at maximum density)., Energy, The ability to do work. Examples of energy include light sound, heat, and electricity., Frequency, The number of waves produced during a given amount of time., Hertz (Hz), The scientific unit for frequency; number of times a wave passes in one second., Longitudinal Wave, A wave that moves the particles of the medium in the same direction that the wave itself is moving., Mechanical Wave, A disturbance that carries energy from one place to another through a medium—a liquid, gas, or solid., Medium, Matter—such as a liquid, gas, or solid—that mechanical waves carry energy through., Particle, A tiny portion of matter. When waves carry energy through matter, the waves move the particles of the medium temporarily., Rarefaction, A point where the medium is most spread out (or least dense)., Wave, A disturbance that carries energy from one place to another., Wavelength, The distance between any point on a wave to an identical point on the next wave., mechanical wave, a wave that requires a medium to transfer energy, decibel, a unit to measure the intensity (loudness) of a sound.
