Waves

6. The distance of a wave from height to trough, closely related to the amount of energy in a wave
7. when waves bounces back off of a surface
8. compressional waves detected by the human ear
9. The length of a wave from trough to trough or crest to crest
10. The opposite of the crest in a wave is the ______
12. The high point in a transverse wave
14. A wave that travels through a medium/travels through matter
17. light visible to the human eye; wavelength and frequency determine color
19. A mechanical wave that travels through matter in the same direction of the flow of energy
20. The highest frequency wave on this scale is a gamma wave
21. The point in a compressional wave where the matter is most closely packed
23. A rainbow occurs when _____ occurs through a drop of water
24. the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that is detectable by the human eye
27. A wave where the matter flows in a direction parallel to the flow of energy
28. how high or low a sound is

1. The matter through which a wave travels
2. The loudness of a sound as perceived by the human ear. A higher amplitude is a louder sound.
3. The transfer of energy through the vibration of particles
4. You can hear sounds around corners because of
5. a black shirt on a bright summer ____ light waves
6. a medium that waves travel the slowest through
11. The point in a compressional wave where the matter is most spread out
13. waves travel the fastest through this of matter (medium)
15. Waves that do not require a medium (matter) to pass through and move through electromagnetic particles
16. how many crests/troughs cross a certain point in a minute
18. a medium that waves travel slightly faster through than gases but slower than solids
22. a car makes a high sound until it passes you and then makes a low sound
25. The strength to do action or perform something, transferred through waves and closely related to amplitude.
26. the sun give off _____
27. a object that light passes through completely
