The Amazing World of Waves

Is energy transfer that follows a repetitive pattern using matter or space as a medium.

• Kinetic energy

• Potential energy

• Wave

Waves that need a medium of propagation.

• Kinetic wave

• Mechanical Wave

• Potential wave

The transfer medium moves perpendicularly to the direction of the wave.

• Kinetic wave

• Longitudinal wave

• Transverse wave

The transfer medium moves parallel to the direction of the wave.

• Kinetic wave

• Longitudinal wave

• Transverse wave

Is the distance from crest to crest.

• Frequency

• Trough

• Wavelength

The symbol lambda represents:

• Amplitude

• Frequency

• Wavelength

The high points in a transverse wave.

• Amplitude

• Crest

• Trough

• Wavelength

The low points in a transverse wave are:

• Aplitude

• Crest

• Trough

• Wavelength

When parts of a spring contracts.

• Amplitude

• Compression

• Rarefaction

• Wavelength

When part of a spring streches.

• Amplitude

• Compression

• Rarefaction

• Wavelength
