Waves

The lowest part of a wave.

• frequency

• wavelength

• longitudinal wave

• amplitude

• trough

It is a disturbance that transfers energy through matter from one location to another location.

• crest

• transverse wave

• medium

The medium vibrates at right angles to the direction that the wave travels. An example of this is can be done with a rope.

• crest

• transverse wave

• medium

• wave

The distance between two tops of waves or the two bottoms of waves.

• frequency

• wavelength

• longitudinal wave

• amplitude

• trough

The matter that a wave travels through. This matter could be a gas, a liquid, or a solid.
