Wave Properties

2. the number of wavelengths that pass by a point each second
4. the parts of a longitudinal wave where the particles in the medium are closest together
5. can travel through empty space and through matter
8. when waves that over lap and combine, forming a new wave
9. the passage of light through an object
14. the bouncing of a wave off a surface
18. A material in which a wave travels through
19. the transfer of energy by a wave to the medium
20. makes the particles in s medium move parallel to the wave's direction

1. the lowest point on a transverse wave
3. the change in direction of a wave that occurs as the wave changes speed moving from one medium to another
6. a wave in which the disturbance is perpendicular
7. the maximum distance that the wave moves from its rest position
10. the parts of a longitudinal wave where the particles in the medium are the farthest apart
11. the distance from one point on a wave to the same point on the next wave
12. when a wave is reflected from a surface, the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence
13. A wave that can travel through matter
15. the change in direction of a wave when it travels by the edge of an object
16. a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another without transferring matter
17. the highest point on a transverse wave
