  1. 3. A wave in which the matter moves in a pattern perpendicular to the direction that the wave travels.
  2. 4. A wave in which the matter moves in a circular pattern that is sometimes parallel and sometimes perpendicular to the direction that the wave travels.
  3. 6. the distance a wave moves in a given amount of time.
  4. 7. A disturbance that carries energy from place to place without moving matter.
  5. 8. A wave in which particles of matter move back and forth in repeating patterns.

  1. 1. The number of wave cycles that pass a certain point in a given period of time; often expressed in wave cycles per second, or hertz (Hz).
  2. 2. The matter that a mechanical wave travels through.
  3. 5. The size of the disturbance a wave causes in its medium.
  4. 7. The distance between the start of one wave cycle and the start of the next wave cycle.
  5. 11. The lowest point of a wave.
