• the number of complete wavelengths that pass a point in a given time

• Anything that has mass and takes up space

When a wave hits a smooth surface, and it cannot pass through it. The wave bounces back. This is known as...

• Reflection

• Pulse rate

• Trough

• Mechanical Wave

Pulse rate is...

• the distance from any point on a wave

• the number of beats per minute; speed

• A wave that moves the medium in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels

• A wave in which the vibration of the medium is parallel to the direction the wave travels

What is a wave?

• Material through which a wave travels

• a disturbance that transfers energy from place to place

• the number of beats per minute; speed

• Anything that has mass and takes up space

What is matter?

• the distance from any point on a wave to an identical point on the next wave

• the number of complete wavelengths that pass a point in a given time

• Highest point of a wave

• Anything that has mass and takes up space

What is a trough?

• The medium in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels

• Lowest point of a wave

• The number of complete wavelengths that pass a point in a given time

• Highest point of a wave

• altitude

• longitude

• amplitude

• frequency
