  1. 3. a wave in which the matter moves in a pattern perpendicular to the direction that the wave travels
  2. 6. the equation that relates wave speed, frequency and wavelength
  3. 8. the distance between the start of one wave cycle and the start of the next wave cycle
  4. 9. a wave made of a single disturbance that does not repeat
  5. 10. the size of the disturbance a wave causes in its medium
  6. 12. a wave in which the matter moves in a pattern parallel to the direction that the wave travels
  7. 13. one complete motion of the repeating pattern of a wave
  8. 14. the matter that a mechanical wave travels through

  1. 1. a disturbance that carries energy from place to place
  2. 2. a wave in which the matter moves in a circular pattern that is sometimes parallel and sometimes perpendicular to the direction that the wave travels
  3. 4. the distance a wave moves in a given amount of time
  4. 5. a wave in which particles of matter move back and forth
  5. 7. the number of wave cycles that pass a certain point in a given period of time; often expressed in wave cycles per second or hertz
  6. 11. a representation of a situation which makes important aspects easy to see
