amplitude - measurement of the amount of energy in a wave; distance between the peak or trough and the resting position, transverse wave - a wave that moves perpendicular to the direction of the wave; up and down, longitudinal wave - a type of wave in which the particles move back and forth in the same direction that the wave travels; parallel to the direction of the wave,, electromagnetic wave - are created as a result of vibrations between an electric and a magnetic field, mechanical wave - require a medium in order to transport their energy from one location to another., wave - a disturbance that transfers energy without a net movement of particles., frequency - the number of waves that pass a fixed point in unit time, hertz - a unit of frequency equal to one cycle per second, medium - a material through which a wave travels, wavelength - the distance from one point in the wave to an identical point in the next wave; crest to crest or trough to trough, wave period - time needed for one cycle, wave speed - speed at which a wave travels, trough - the lowest part of a transverse wave, crest - the highest part of a transverse wave,
