Physical Science Waves

This is the point that the material becomes less dense in a compression wave (the area opposite the compression).

• Crest

• Trough

• Medium

• Large

• Rarefaction

This occurs when a wave has an orderly pattern of interference, often with its own reflection.

• Crest

• Trough

• Medium

• Standing Wave

• Rarefaction

What type of wave is this?

• Transverse

• Longitudinal

• Mechanical

• Electromagnetic

• Wavey
