wave - a disturbance that transfers energy , amplitude - measure of a wave's height, OR from the rest to the crest/trough, frequency - number of waves passing by a specific point per second, wavelength - distance between 2 consecutive troughs or crests of a wave, trough - lowest point of a wave, crest - highest point of a wave, electromagnetic wave - a transverse wave that can travel through the emptiness of space/vacuum, they do not need a medium to travel, Volume - loudness that is determined by the amplitude of a wave, medium - material a wave passes through, loudness - the result in the differences of volume of a wave, solids - state of matter that particles are closest together, most dense, liquid - state off matter that particles are somewhat close together, but can slide past one another , gas - state of matter where particles are far apart, least dense , vaccum - space that is absent of all matter/particles, rarefaction - part of a longitudinal wave where particles are spread out, less dense, compression - part of a longitudinal wave where particles are compacted together, dense, longitudinal wave - wave that goes back and forth such as a sound wave, transverse wave - a type of wave that causes the medium to move perpendicular to the direction of the wave, such as a wave of water, mechanical wave - the main type of wave that can be either transverse or longitudinal, Perpendicular - an angle of 90 degrees, that form right angles, can show the intersecting of two lines to create a "t",
