  1. 6. Wave Both the direction of the medium and the wave's motion are perpendiculars (ex. Light waves).
  2. 7. The highest part of a wave.
  3. 8. The distance between the crests of a wave (A shorter ___________________ demonstrates a higher frequency in sound waves and higher energy in light waves).
  4. 9. The amount of wave produced in a set time (Higher _______ also means more energy).
  5. 11. Interference When two waves meet and are displaced in the same direction.
  6. 12. When a wave (or substance) is unable to pass through a material and instead bounces back.
  7. 16. Effect The apparent change in the frequency of a sound caused by the motion of either the listener or the source of the sound (ex. A siren becoming louder as the car moves towards you, and quieter as the car moves away from you).

  1. 1. Waves Waves produced through vibrating particles, that are almost always Transverse wave. These waves are capable of moving energy through a vacuum (Light waves).
  2. 2. The loudness or brightness of a wave (Greater ________ means more energy).
  3. 3. A wave's direction is changed when moving from one medium into another
  4. 4. A term to describes ways energy is transferred (ex. electromagnetic, sound, ocean, and seismic).
  5. 5. Waves Both the direction of the medium and the wave's motion are parallel (ex. Sound waves).
  6. 10. A substance through which a wave travels (ex. Solid, Liquid, Gas).
  7. 13. The lowest part of a wave.
  8. 14. When waves are bent around a barrier or through an opening.
  9. 15. Waves Waves can be longitudinal, transversal, or surface, and need a medium in order to move energy. Energy is transferred between particles (Sound waves).
