Waves Properties

2. Is the number of wavelengths that pass by a point each second.
6. This is the bouncing of a wave off a surface.
7. The regions of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are the closest together.
8. The lowest point on a transverse wave.
10. Is the change in the direction of a wave that occurs the wave that occurs as the wave changes speed moving from medium to medium.
12. This is the maximum distance that the wave moves from its resting position.
15. Is a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another without transferring matter.
16. wave: Makes the particles in a medium vibrate parallel to the direction that the wave travels.
18. A material in which a wave travels is called a medium.
19. Is the transfer of energy by a wave to the medium in which it travels.
20. The highest point on a transverse wave.

1. wave: A wave that can only travel through matter.
3. The change in direction when it travels by the end of an object or through an opening.
4. wave: Is a wave in which the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction the wave travels.
5. Occurs when waves that overlap combines, forming a new wave.
9. wave: Is a wave that can travel between empty space and thought matter.
11. Is the distance from one point on a wave to the same point on the next wave.
13. of reflection: When a wave is reflected from a surface, the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence.
14. The regions on a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are farthest apart.
17. Is the passage of light through an object.
