Wave, a DISTURBANCE THAT TRANSFERS ENERGY from one place to another, medium, any SUBSTANCE that a WAVE MOVES THROUGH, mechanical wave, a wave that transfers ENERGY THROUGH MATTER, electromagnetic wave, waves that can transfer ELECTRIC and MAGNETIC energy through empty space at the speed of light, transverse wave, the direction the wave travels is PERPENDICULAR , or at RIGHT ANGLE, to the direction of the disturbance, longitudinal wave, the wave travels in the SAME DIRECTION as the disturbance, crest, the HIGHEST POINT, or peak, of a wave, amplitude, indicates HOW MUCH ENERGY a wave is carrying, wavelength, the DISTANCE from one part of one wave to the IDENTICAL PART of the next wave, frequency, the NUMBER OF WAVES passing a fixed point in a certain amount of TIME, wave properties, wavelength, compression, amplitude, rarefaction, and frequency of a wave, vibration, a REPEATED back-and-forth or up-and-down MOTION, compression, The part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are CLOSE TOGETHER, rarefaction, The part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are FAR APART., trough, a LOW POINT on a transverse wave, sound, A disturbance that travels through a medium as a LONGITUDINAL WAVE..
