Please enter the code:

a wave that travels along the surface of a medium

• surface wave
• transverse wave
• longitudinal wave
• mechanical wave

a part in a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are spread apart

• rarefaction
• compression
• amplitude
• wavelength

a wave in which the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of wave motion

• longitudinal wave
• transverse wave
• surface wave
• mechanical wave

a wave whose particles oscillate perpendicular to the direction that the wave travels

• longitudinal wave
• transverse wave
• surface wave
• mechanical wave

lowest point of a wave

• medium
• trough
• crest
• amplitude

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

• frequency
