Waves Review

3. The highness or lowness of sound. Depends on frequency.
6. A type of electromagnetic wave with the longest wavelength and lowest frequency.
8. The type of electromagnetic wave with the shortest wavelength and highest frequency.
10. A type of transverse wave that does not require a medium to travel.
11. A part of the wave that shortens with a higher frequency, measured from crest to crest.
15. The measure of how many waves pass a point over time (speed), the pitch of a sound wave.
18. Occurs when light waves hit a surface and bounce off.
19. A material through which waves can travel, it can be a solid, liquid, or gas.
20. A type of longitudinal wave that requires a medium to travel.

1. The type of wave that requires a medium to travel.
2. Occurs when light waves spread around a barrier as they pass through an opening.
4. The lowest part of a transverse wave.
5. A type of wave that moves side to side, travel parallel to the medium.
7. A repeated vibration that transfers energy but not matter.
9. The type of wave that can travel through a vacuum.
12. A measurement of the height of a wave, the volume of a sound wave..
13. A type of wave that moves up and down, travels perpendicular to a medium.
14. Occurs when light waves bend as they it pass through a medium, caused by a change in speed.
16. Top part of a transverse wave; highest amount of energy in the wave.
17. The midpoint of the wave, the baseline.
